Description
What a 3000L turnkey brewery includes
A 3000L turnkey system is not one machine. It is a linked brewhouse, fermentation, cooling and cleaning package sized around a 3000L batch. We build the brewhouse around your steam or electric supply, then match fermenter volume, jacket area and valve layout to your packaging rhythm. If the brewhouse runs five brews a week but the cellar has only four fermenters, fermentation becomes the bottleneck.
Product contact surfaces are normally SUS304. We specify SUS316L where chloride exposure or aggressive cleaning is part of the routine. Welds are ground, pickled where required and passivated; internal polish is chosen for cleaning style, not for showroom appearance. Dimple jackets follow the liquid zone and cone. That affects crash cooling and yeast recovery more than a thicker jacket alone.
Where this system fits
Regional craft breweries, contract brewers, brewpub groups with distribution and beverage plants adding a beer line use this size to gain repeatable batches without committing to a 10,000L cellar. A 3000L brewhouse can be oversized for a small brewpub if fermentation and packaging cannot keep pace. We often recommend more fermenters at a smaller brewhouse volume instead of one large brewhouse and a thin cellar.

FAQ
Can one 3000L brewhouse feed different fermenter sizes? Yes, but the cellar plan should match batch splitting, tank turnover and packaging days.
Do we need conical fermenters? Conical tanks help yeast drop and recovery. Shallow or dish-bottom tanks can work for specific styles, but they change harvesting and cleaning practice.
How does CIP connect? We lay out CIP supply, return, glycol and beer lines as a coordinated skid and vessel package. Valve access and drain slope matter during installation.
Why control fermentation temperature? Yeast performance, diacetyl rest and crash cooling depend on holding cone and body temperature within a narrow band. The jacket area and chiller capacity should be sized together.
What about pressure and safety? The vessel rating, relief valve and gauge are a matched train. Raising pressure to speed carbonation without checking the relief setting is a common mistake.
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
