10 BBL Two-Vessel Brewhouse: What the Vessels Actually Need to Do
A 10 BBL brewhouse sits in a useful range for taprooms and small regional breweries: enough wort per turn to support steady wholesale accounts without forcing a building expansion. Our two-vessel arrangement uses a mash/lauter tun and a kettle/whirlpool. The layout suits brewers who want clear separation between lautering and boil, with CIP and utility routing kept accessible.
The mash/lauter tun requires more attention than the kettle. We fabricate the false bottom in SUS304 with slotted plates and support rings that can be removed for inspection. Sparge arms are sized to the grain bed, not copied from a larger frame. On the kettle side, steam jackets are welded and pressure-tested before insulation. Jacket working pressure, safety valve set point and condensate return are confirmed against your steam supply; a mismatch here creates slow ramps or noisy operation.
Materials and Fabrication
SUS304 is standard for wort contact and exterior cladding. We use 316L where cleaning chemistry or coastal air justifies it. Welds are ground, pickled and passivated on product-contact surfaces; exterior welds are cleaned to a practical finish rather than a showroom polish. Gaskets, clamps and valve seats are selected for caustic and acid CIP cycles. We leave service access around manways, sight glasses and thermowells because maintenance is part of brewing.

FAQ
Can this brewhouse run two brews per day? Yes, with matched HLT volume, wort cooling and fermentation capacity. The brewhouse alone does not set daily output.
Do we need a separate whirlpool? A kettle/whirlpool works for many ale and lager programs. High trub loads or tight cycle times may justify a dedicated whirlpool.
What should we send before a quote? Batch size, beer styles, brews per day, steam or electric utility, floor plan, ceiling height and planned tank count. Those details determine jacket area, platform height and piping layout.
Tell us your batch size, beer type, planned brews per day and available space. We can recommend vessel volume, heating method and brewhouse configuration for your brewery.

Although there were a few minor issues, thanks to Polly’s help, it looks brilliant and has brought my little distillery quite a few new customers.
Very good！！I see now in my texting to you that in my excitement over having the installation here in the USA I totally forgot to give you and the company of ACE a very big compliment on the quality of the whole Installation!! It all looks fabulous and the way you packed it in the container was extraordinary!! I am very impressed with your company and want to say a big thank you to everybody who worked on my order!!
We have been using this still for a few batches now making whiskey, gin and a few other spirits and we are very happy with the results so far. The gear works well and gives good control during distillation. The spirit comes out clean and consistent from batch to batch and we have gotten the flavor profile we were looking for. It has also been easy to operate and maintain. It has been a great addition to our distillery and I’d definitely recommend it to other craft distillers looking for reliable equipment.”
Polly is the man! I highly recommend him and this products they produce! I’m very satisfied. she communicates very well and the quality of workmanship is excellent! Shipping was exceptional. Thannks Polly and team

It was quite a big job to put the distiller together, so I asked a friend to help me, and I managed to get it done in just eight hours. I’m really pleased with it – it looks brilliant.Ryan Murphy
