Description
Brewhouse Systems Built for Repeatable Production
We manufacture 5–15 BBL brewhouses for craft breweries that need consistent extract recovery, predictable boil-off, and a layout that fits an existing building. The system can be configured as two vessels—mash/lauter tun and kettle/whirlpool—or three vessels when brew length and style changes justify the extra floor space. Capacity is nominal; actual batch size depends on gravity, grist load, and whether you run high-gravity brews.
Fabrication Details That Affect Service Life
Product-contact surfaces are normally SUS304; we use SUS316L for chloride exposure or aggressive cleaning cycles. Welds are purged and pickled, then ground and polished to a sanitary finish—typically Ra ≤0.8 µm on product contact. We pressure-test jackets and vessels before shipment. Gaskets, seals, and clamp fittings are selected for steam, hot water, and CIP chemicals. Skid-mounted piping, hard-piped CIP routes, and glycol or steam jacket connections are agreed at drawing stage; changing them after fabrication adds cost.
Applications
These brewhouses suit ale and lager production, taproom breweries, contract brewing, and pilot plants. A 5 BBL system works for trial batches and limited releases; 10–15 BBL systems support regional distribution when paired with adequate fermentation capacity.

Procurement FAQ
How do we size the brewhouse? Start with packaged beer volume and brew frequency, not kettle volume alone. A 10 BBL brewhouse brewing four times per day requires matching fermentation and cold-side capacity.
Why specify SUS316L? Not every brewery needs it. Use 316L when cleaning chemicals, water chemistry, or coastal air increase chloride risk. Otherwise 304 is sufficient for most brewhouse duties.
What affects lead time? Jacket design, control level, piping layout, and vessel orientation. Approval drawings before cutting stainless keeps changes from becoming rework.
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.”
