Description
This system pairs a 500L (5BBL) or 1000L (10BBL) brewhouse with a matching fermentation unit. It suits pubs and restaurants that want to brew house beers without dedicating a full production floor. The layout is compact and the controls are straightforward for a small team.
Fermentation temperature control drives the design. Dimple cooling jackets on the cone and side walls are sized for the batch volume. We set the safety valve at 2.5 bar and hydro-test the vessel at 3 bar. The standard cone angle is 60°; steeper cones are available for high dry-hop loads.
Tanks are built from SUS304 stainless steel. For breweries using chloride-based sanitizers or brewing high-salt styles, we recommend 316L on wetted surfaces. Product-contact welds are TIG, ground flush, and polished to Ra ≤ 0.8 µm. We passivate after fabrication. Gaskets are EPDM or silicone, FDA-compliant, with a spare set included.
CIP uses a rotary spray ball with 360° coverage. The tank has 1.5" TC connections for CIP supply and return, plus a separate port for the glycol loop. We provide a piping schematic so your installer can tie into the chiller and CIP skid without guesswork.

FAQs
What batch size should I choose? Match to weekly volume. 500L suits pubs selling 2–4 kegs per week; 1000L fits higher turnover or multiple taprooms.
Do I need a cone bottom? A cone bottom helps with yeast harvesting and trub removal. 60° works for standard ales and lagers. For fruit beers, consider a steeper cone.
Which stainless grade? SUS304 covers most brewing. Choose 316L if you use chlorinated cleaners or brew high-chloride styles.
How do I connect CIP and glycol? We provide a schematic. CIP supply to spray ball port; return to bottom outlet. Glycol to jacket ports. Use TC clamps and FDA-rated hoses.
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.”
