Description
Most inquiries for these skids come from breweries that have outgrown a manual two-vessel brewhouse and need repeatable batches without adding a shift. The 800L, 1000L and 1200L PLC-controlled systems share one frame, one pump set and one control cabinet layout — only shell diameters and heating surface change. When you add capacity later, your operators already know the valves.
Vessel, material and fabrication
Wetted parts are SUS304 as standard. We switch to SUS316L when the grist is heavily hopped, when local water is aggressive, or when a vessel doubles as a unitank with long acid CIP cycles. Shells run 3 mm with 3 mm dished heads; interiors are pickled, passivated and mechanically polished to Ra ≤ 0.6 µm. Dimple-plate or half-pipe jackets are hydro-tested at 1.5× working pressure. Every tank ships with a hydro record and mill certificate.
A 60° cone suits most ales. Go to 70–90° if you dry hop heavily or ferment high-gravity lager, because yeast and hop creep drop cleanly instead of sitting on the shoulder. Pressure vessels leave the shop rated 0.3 MPa working, 0.45 MPa test, fitted with a spring-loaded safety valve and a gauge on the CIP arm.

Questions we get before quoting
Does the jacket replace a glycol chiller? No. The jacket is the heat exchanger; you still size a chiller for peak crash-cooling load, not average fermentation load.
How does CIP tie in? A rotating spray ball in the top manway, with 1.5\” tri-clamp returns. Keep CIP and wort lines separate or you will chase flavor carryover for months.
Can I buy the 800L now and upgrade? Yes — the skid footprint and cabinet are identical, so the swap is mechanical.
Send us your batch size, beer style, tank count and ceiling height. We will come back with volume, cooling area and port layout that fit the room you actually have.

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 took 60 days from ordering to delivery, and it looks like a work of art. Thank you to Polly for her help.
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

The whole process from manufacturing, shipping, installation to commissioning was seamless. The ACE team were professional, responsive and very knowledgeable. They helped us complete the installation successfully and gave great technical support.
It still looks amazing in our distillery and does exactly what it says on the tin. We highly recommend ACE to anyone looking for reliable and high quality distillation equipment.
Thank you ACE team for the great work!”
