Description
Brewhouse, Cellar, and the Loop That Connects Them
A turnkey project is not one machine. It is a brewhouse, a set of fermenters, bright tanks, a glycol loop, a CIP circuit, and several hundred meters of pipe tying them together. We size those four systems as a group, because a 3000L brewhouse feeding six tanks runs a very different schedule than the same brewhouse feeding twelve.
Volumes we build most: 2000L, 2500L, 3000L, 5000L, 10000L. What sets your tank count is not kettle size. It is turns per day, fermentation days, and how much floor space remains once the mill, chiller and cold room are placed.
Materials and Fabrication
Wort-contact vessels are SUS304, 3mm minimum on shell and cone. We move to 316L when a brewery runs kettle sours, or when CIP caustic is aggressive and the tank is expected to serve past fifteen years. Cones and lower cylinders are dimple-jacketed, with cooling area calculated from fermentation heat load rather than a fixed rule. Every jacket is hydro-tested at 1.5 times working pressure, and the cone carries its own relief valve set at 3 bar.
Interior welds are ground and passivated. Surface finish runs Ra ≤ 0.8 µm inside, 2B outside unless you specify mirror polish. Manways use EPDM or silicone gaskets depending on your sanitizing chemicals.

| BE-3000L | 3000L | 0.2 MPa | 2-zone jacket | SUS304 / 316L |
| BE-5000L | 5000L | 0.2 MPa | 3-zone jacket | SUS304 / 316L |

How many fermenters fit a 3000L brewhouse?
With a 14-day ale schedule, plan six to eight tanks for steady packaging. Lagers push that count up sharply.
Is a conical bottom necessary?
For ales and lagers, yes — yeast drops cleanly and dry hopping is easier. Open-fermented wheat or some barrel programs may not need it.
Can all vessels share one CIP circuit?
Yes, with separate return pumps and a dedicated caustic tank sized to your largest vessel. Small lines to sample valves are usually the weak point in cleaning.
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
