Description
2000L Stainless Steel Fermentation Tanks for Lager Production
This 2000L brewery package is built around jacketed conical fermentation tanks for lager, ale and similar styles. We size the tank for practical batch volumes, headspace and cooling load rather than a nominal figure alone. A 2000L working capacity commonly pairs with 25–30% headspace and a cooling jacket area matched to your glycol temperature and fermentation profile.
Tanks are normally made in SUS304, with SUS316L available for product-contact parts where chloride exposure or customer standards require it. We control weld prep, purge and passivation; internal surfaces are polished to a practical sanitary finish. Jackets are tested before insulation and cladding. Top manway, CIP spray ball, racking arm, sample valve and pressure/vacuum relief are selected around how your cellar team actually works.

FAQ
Can one tank handle lager and ale? Yes, if pressure rating and cooling area suit your fermentation and conditioning plan. Lager usually needs tighter temperature control and more cooling reserve.
Why conical bottom? It helps yeast collection, dumping and beer recovery. A 60° cone is common; the right outlet size depends on batch size and downstream piping.
How is CIP connected? A spray ball, CIP supply and return lines, and drain path must be planned together. We confirm fitting sizes and orientation against your cellar layout before fabrication.
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.”
