Description
Equipment Overview for Real Production Needs
Our 1500L (15HL / 15BBL) beer brewery equipment is built for craft breweries that have outgrown pilot systems. The brewhouse handles a full 15-barrel batch from mash to whirlpool. Vessels are sized to match your fermentation capacity—typically four to six 1500L unitanks per brewhouse batch.
Materials and Fabrication
All product-contact surfaces use SUS304 or, for heavily hopped or acidic wort, SUS316L. Tank bodies are 3mm thick with dished heads. Internal welds are purged, ground flush, and passivated. External welds are wire-brushed. We polish interior surfaces to under 0.6μm Ra—rough enough to hold a passive layer, smooth enough for effective CIP. Sanitary tri-clamp fittings, EPDM or silicone gaskets, and 60° cone bottoms are standard on fermenters. DIN or SMS connections are optional.
Cooling and Temperature Control
Single-zone or dual-zone dimple jackets wrap the cone and lower cylinder. Glycol at 28–30°F enters through a 1.5-inch inlet. A pressure relief valve on the jacket prevents over-pressurization during CIP or stuck-valve events. Unitanks are rated to 15 psi working pressure and tested to 30 psi. Brite tanks receive a higher polish and a dedicated carbonation stone port.
Practical Applications
These systems suit ale and lager production in taprooms, regional microbreweries, and contract facilities. If your water chemistry changes seasonally, dual-zone jackets give you tighter control during crash cooling. Small brewpubs often choose direct-fired brewhouses; larger producers prefer steam. We configure both.

Common Questions
Why control fermentation temperature? Yeast produces off-flavors outside its ideal range. Glycol jackets remove exothermic heat, especially during high-gravity fermentation.
Conical or flat bottom? Conicals let you drop yeast and dry hop without racking. Flat bottoms are for brite tanks only.
How does CIP work? A spray ball inside the tank connects to your CIP cart. Run caustic, rinse, then sanitizer through the same path.
What information do we need to quote? Batch size, beer style, number of fermenters, available ceiling height, and whether you have glycol and steam on site.
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.”
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
