Description
2BBL Brewhouse for Production Brewing
A 2BBL automatic brewhouse suits breweries moving from trials to repeatable batches. It combines mash/lauter, kettle/whirlpool, hot liquor, pumps, heat exchanger and controls on a compact skid. We size vessels around batch volume, evaporation, whirlpool rest and simultaneous cleaning. If your brewhouse must feed two fermenters per day, pipe runs and pump curves matter as much as tank diameter.
Fabrication and materials
We build product-contact parts in SUS304 as standard; 316L is available for aggressive cleaning or coastal environments. Welds are purged, ground where needed and pickled/passivated. Interior surfaces are polished to a practical finish, not a decorative mirror. Sanitary clamps, EPDM or silicone gaskets, and slope-to-drain outlets reduce wort loss. Steam, electric or direct-fired heating changes jacket and control design, so confirm utilities before fabrication.
Process control and cleaning
Automatic control covers mash steps, sparge, boil timing, whirlpool and CIP routing. Temperature sensors go in thermowells; flow switches and level probes should be accessible. CIP uses spray balls and a dedicated pump path. Keep valves labeled and dead legs short. For cold-side connections, we match fermenter and brewhouse port sizes to avoid adapters.

FAQ
Is 2BBL too small for commercial brewing? It fits taproom supply, pilot work and seasonal releases when run on a realistic schedule.
Can we add fermenters later? Yes, but plan chiller capacity, floor space and CIP routing first.
What do you need for a quote? Batch size, beer styles, batches per week, utilities, available space, fermenter count and preferred control level.
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.”
