Description
The 2,500 L, 3,500 L and 5,000 L packages are complete production lines — mill, mash, lauter, boil, whirlpool, fermentation and transfer interfaces — not a single vessel. Most buyers here are either breweries stepping up from a 500 L pilot kit or regional plants adding a second shift. Capacity follows batch count and cold-room footprint, not floor space in the brochure. A 2,500 L line running one turn per day and a 3,500 L line running three turns a week put very different loads on your boiler and glycol chiller.
Materials and fabrication
Product-contact surfaces are SUS304 by default. We switch to 316L when the line handles high-acid fruit fermentations or sees aggressive daily CIP. Vessels are welded with automatic orbital TIG, internal seams ground, then pickled and passivated. Interior finish is Ra ≤ 0.6 µm; exteriors are brushed or mirror-polished per client preference. Dimple jackets are laser-welded to the shell — stitch-welded jackets crack under repeated thermal cycling, and that is a common failure we get called to repair. Fermenters come with a dished top, 60-degree cone, sanitary clamp manway with silicone gasket, and 1.5 inch DIN butterfly valves.
Where these lines run
Craft breweries, brewpubs with bottling or kegging lines, contract canning operations, and beverage plants producing kombucha or non-alcoholic malt drinks. Anywhere attenuation needs to be repeatable, temperature control is what decides whether the product leaves the tank on spec.

Questions we get before quoting
Do the tanks need pressure rating? If you carbonate in the fermenter or push beer with CO2, yes. Working pressure sets the shell thickness, and the safety valve must be set above working pressure but below test pressure. Tell us the local code authority; paperwork differs by country.
What chiller size? Size to the number of tanks crashing at once, not the total tank count. Crashing four tanks on the same afternoon is the load case that matters.
Can we add tanks later? Yes, but the header and CIP main have to be sized for the final count on day one. Adding a 5,000 L vessel to a header built for two 2,500 L tanks is a rework job.
Send us your batch size, beer styles, number of fermenters and the ceiling height of the room. We will come back with tank volumes, jacket area and a layout that fits the building you actually have.

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.”
