2000L Wine Fermenter Tank: Built for Real Cellar Work
A 2000L fermenter is often the step between pilot batches and full production. It suits small wineries, brewpubs with fruit fermentations, and contract producers who need repeatable temperature control without tying up a large tank. The vessel can work as a fermenter, storage tank, or chilled holding tank depending on jacket layout, fittings, and pressure rating.
We build these tanks around the process, not a catalog photo. For wine, must composition and cap management decide whether you need a larger manway, racking arm, or full cone. For cider and fruit wine, a conical bottom helps yeast and lees drop cleanly. If the tank is mainly for cold stabilization or storage, a shallow cone and dimpled cooling jacket may be enough.
Materials and fabrication
Most units use SUS304 for wine contact. SUS316L makes sense with high-acid fruit, coastal humidity, or aggressive CIP chemicals. Interior welds are ground, passivated, and polished to a sanitary finish; exterior welds can stay brushed. We pressure-test jackets and shell separately before insulation. Seals are food-grade EPDM or silicone, matched to the cleaning routine.
Cooling jackets cover the cone and lower side. Glycol flow and jacket area are sized for crash cooling, not just steady fermentation. A 2000L tank with thin jackets may hold temperature at peak, then struggle during cold soak.
Connections and cleaning
Typical fittings include racking arm, sample valve, CIP spray ball, pressure relief valve, glycol inlet/outlet, and tri-clamp ports. CIP works best with a rotating spray ball and enough pump flow to wet the entire dome. If the tank is pressurized, the relief valve setting must match the design pressure and local code.

FAQ
Can one tank ferment and store wine? Yes, if pressure rating, jacket area, and fittings match both duties.
304 or 316L? 304 handles most wine. 316L is better for high chloride, high acid, or harsh washdown.
How do I size cooling? Give us batch temperature, desired crash time, ambient cellar temperature, and glycol supply temperature.
What about customization? Ports, cone angle, leg height, insulation, and control panel can be changed.
Tell us your batch size, wine type, number of tanks and available space. We can recommend the tank volume, cooling area and configuration for your winery.

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.”
