Description
The 500L, 1000L and 1500L brewhouses we build share one frame layout and one control architecture. Going up in size changes vessel diameter, jacket area and heating power — not the operating logic. That matters when a brewpub opens at 500L and adds a second shift a year later: the recipe steps stay in the same PLC, and the operators do not relearn the machine.
Vessels are 3 mm SUS304 as standard. We move wort-contact surfaces to 316L when the water profile is aggressive or the plant runs high-acid styles; the cost difference is genuine, so we quote both instead of pushing the upgrade. After welding, inner surfaces are pickled and passivated, weld beads are ground and brushed, and every jacket is pressure-tested before cladding. Dimple jackets on the cone and cylinder hold 2–3 bar working pressure, with a safety valve set at the vessel rating — not above it.
The platforms suit brewpubs, regional craft breweries, contract producers and pilot plants. A 500L system typically runs 2–3 brews a day on a 2-vessel configuration; a 1500L unit is usually paired with a lauter tun and a dedicated whirlpool.
| Model | Batch size | Heating | Control |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500L | 500 L | Steam / electric | PLC, semi-auto |
| 1000L | 1000 L | Steam | PLC, semi-auto |
| 1500L | 1500 L | Steam | PLC, semi-auto |
Questions we get before quoting
Is the batch size the fermenter volume? No. Plan 25–30% headspace, so a 500L batch wants a 650L fermenter.
Do I need cone and dish options? Cone bottoms drain trub and yeast cleanly; dish bottoms suit serving tanks and horizontal layouts.
How is CIP handled? Tri-clamp fittings on the racking arm, spray ball and blow-off let you loop the tank into a portable pump cart or a fixed CIP skid.
Send us your batch size, beer types, number of fermenters you plan for and the floor space you have. With those numbers we can size the tank volume, cooling area and piping route before any drawing is issued.

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.”
