Description
Sizing the line to your brew day
These three volumes cover most of the space between a 10 bbl brewpub and a regional craft brewery running two turns a day. We size the mash/lauter tun, kettle, whirlpool, and unitanks as a set. A 5000L kettle paired with 2500L fermenters wastes a brew day; matched volumes let you knock out full batches without splitting transfers.
Fabrication details that matter later
SUS304 is our standard for both hot-side and cold-side vessels. We move to 316L when the process involves chloride exposure, sour programs, or aggressive CIP chemistry. Product-contact welds are ground, pickled, and passivated, held to Ra ≤0.8 µm. Exterior welds are passivated only, which is fine under cladding but visible on open-frame skids.
Cooling jackets are dimple plate on smaller tanks and channel plate from 3500L upward, rated 2–3 bar working pressure with independent glycol zones once tank height passes about 3 m. Cones ship at 60° as standard; 70° or 90° when you dry hop heavily and need yeast to drop clean. Every tank carries a pressure relief valve set at the design pressure, plus a separate CIP spray ball port, racking arm, and sample valve on the cone.

Questions we get before the PO
Can one skid run ales and lagers? Yes, provided the glycol loop has capacity for the lager crash. Give us your coldest target and ambient room temperature.
How is CIP handled? A dedicated CIP skid feeds through the spray ball at 1.5–2 bar; drains return via the cone outlet. We specify pump head against your tank height, not a generic figure.
What about certification? Pressure vessel certificates, material mill sheets, and weld maps ship with the documentation package for import clearance.
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.”
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
It took 60 days from ordering to delivery, and it looks like a work of art. Thank you to Polly for her help.
It was quite a big job to put the distiller together, so I asked a friend to help me, and I managed to get it done in just eight hours. I’m really pleased with it – it looks brilliant.Ryan Murphy
