Description
10BBL Temperature-Controlled Beer Fermenter
We build the 10BBL fermenter for brewers who have outgrown pilot batches but still need control over every variable. This tank works for ales, lagers, stouts and sours. Volume suits a 10-barrel brewhouse producing roughly 310 gallons per batch. The real job is temperature regulation. Fermentation throws heat; without a cooling jacket and glycol loop, diacetyl cleanup stalls and esters go off-target. We wrap the cone and lower cylinder with dimpled or channel-plate jackets sized to the batch, not a generic surface area.
Materials and Fabrication
Tanks ship in SUS304 as standard. Brewers running high-acid sours, or those who CIP with stronger caustic, often move to 316L wetted parts. We TIG weld with argon purge, then brush and pickle the internal seams. A 2B mill finish is standard; a 320-grit polish is available when yeast cropping matters. Cone angle is usually 60 degrees for clean trub settlement. The top manway, dry-hop port and CIP spray ball are positioned so a single operator can work the tank without a ladder.
Pressure and Safety
Working pressure for carbonation is 15 psi standard, with 30 psi available for brewers who spund or push beer with head pressure. Each tank gets a pressure relief valve sized to the jacket and vessel, not a one-size-fits-all part. We test at 1.5x working pressure and document it.
Practical Notes Before Ordering
Small brewpubs often pick a single 10BBL unitank and ferment under pressure to save a brite tank. Commercial breweries usually want separate fermenters and a brite, because yeast cropping and dry hopping fight each other in one vessel. Tell us your glycol supply temperature, ceiling height, and whether the floor is sloped. Those three details decide leg height, jacket layout and valve orientation.
Tell us your batch size, beer type, number of fermentation tanks and available space. We can recommend the tank volume, cooling area and 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.”
