Description
What actually ships on the 3000L skid
Four vessels — mash tun, lauter tun, kettle, whirlpool — unless your grain bill is all malted barley and you would rather lauter in the mash tun and keep the floor space. Copper sits where it earns its keep: kettle bottom, still column, and the vapor path of the whiskey distiller. The chilling set is a two-stage copper-tubed exchanger that pulls wash to 18–20 °C before it reaches the fermenter, so you are not waiting on a cold room to start the next brew.
Capacities we build most often
| System | Batch | Footprint | Fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 L | ~450 L | 4 × 2 m | tasting room, local bottles |
| 1000 L | ~950 L | 6 × 3 m | regional rye and bourbon |
| 2000 L | ~1,800 L | 9 × 4 m | contract distilling |
| 3000 L | ~2,700 L | 12 × 5 m | single-site whiskey volume |
Steam or electric
We push steam above 1000 L. Elements work fine, but a 3000 L kettle can need 600–800 kW of service and a transformer your utility may take months to deliver. Steam jackets spread heat across the full kettle wall, which shows up in caramelization on a rye mash. Shops under 500 L almost always choose electric — cheaper to install, no boiler to certify or inspect.
Before you ask us for a quote
- Batch size and expected brews per week
- Grain bill and lautering method
- Ceiling height, floor loading, drain locations
- Boiler capacity or electrical service size
- Gin basket, agitator, or column bypass needed?
Send those and we come back with a layout drawing, utility schedule, and crate dimensions. Photos of the room beat a floor plan — we have caught undersized doorways and shallow drains that way before the equipment left the shop.

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.”

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
