Description
A 2,500–5,000 L brewery line is usually chosen when a brewery has outgrown pilot batches but still needs recipe flexibility. Our line combines mash/lauter, kettle/whirlpool, hot liquor, automated control, and glycol cooling in a skid-based layout that fits existing buildings without forcing a full plant rebuild.
Wetted parts are SUS304 as standard; 316L is available for high-chloride water or aggressive cleaning cycles. We TIG weld with argon purge, pickle and passivate seams, and polish product-contact surfaces to Ra ≤0.8 µm where required. Clamp gaskets are EPDM or silicone, matched to operating temperature and CIP chemicals. Insulation and stainless cladding are fitted after pressure testing, not before.
Automated control is practical when it reduces operator error: wort temperature ramps, transfer sequencing, CIP routing, and glycol valve control. We program recipes with manual override. Cooling jackets and a glycol reservoir stabilize fermentation and crash cooling; size the chiller for peak load, not average load. Separate fermenter choice matters: conical tanks simplify yeast cropping, while dish-bottom tanks suit bright beer.

FAQ
How do we select capacity? Match batch size to packaged demand, fermenter count, and brewhouse hours. A 5,000 L line with two 5,000 L fermenters gives one brew per day, but not every brewery needs that pace. Plan 70–80% fill and leave room for seasonal beers.
Why glycol cooling? Fermentation creates heat. Without controlled cooling, yeast stress and off-flavors rise. Glycol jackets hold fermentation temperature and support crash cooling before packaging.
Can we customize materials and CIP? Yes. We adjust 316L contact parts, jacket area, valve routes, and control recipes around your water, cleaning chemicals, and floor layout.
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.”
