Description
How this line is configured
Volumes from 2000L to 5000L cover the gap between pilot brewing and steady commercial output. Each set pairs a two- or three-vessel brewhouse with matching fermenters so batch volume, heat exchange area and pump flow stay in balance. Oversized tanks on an undersized brewhouse is the sizing mistake we see most often: wort cools slower and the whirlpool never settles clean.
Fabrication details
Wetted surfaces are SUS304 as standard, 316L where the buyer runs high-chloride water or sour programs. Inner shell 3 mm, dimple jackets 1.5-2 mm, TIG welded, pickled and passivated, then mechanically polished to Ra 0.8 µm or better on the product side. Cones are 60 degrees with roughly 25 percent headspace above the wort line. Each jacket is hydro-tested at 1.5 times working pressure before 80-100 mm of PU insulation and the brushed 304 cladding go on.
Cooling, pressure and cleaning
Glycol jackets are split into two or three zones on the larger vessels so a 5000L fermenter does not crash-cool unevenly. Working pressure sits at 0.2-0.3 MPa with a certified relief valve on the CIP arm; that valve is a safety device, not a fermentation control. Cleaning runs through a rotating spray ball in the top manway, with DIN 25/32/50 ports for racking, sampling and blow-off.

Common questions
Which volume should I pick? Base it on packaged beer per week, not on the tank you can afford today. Two 2500L fermenters usually beat one 5000L for a brewery still building its seasonal range.
Is 316L necessary? Only for chloride-heavy water, sour or high-acid production. Otherwise 304 with proper passivation lasts decades.
Can the line run later at higher capacity? Yes, if the brewhouse, chiller and steam supply are specified with headroom from the start. Retrofitting a chiller costs more than buying the larger one.

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
