Description
500L Brewhouse with Stackable Fermentation and Bright Beer Tanks
This 500L micro brewery package combines a two-body, three-vessel brewhouse with vertical stackable fermentation and bright beer tanks. It suits brewers who need repeatable batch control in a compact footprint. The brewhouse handles mash, lautering, boil and whirlpool in a practical sequence; the tanks support fermentation, conditioning and bright beer storage. We build the set for pilot breweries, brewpubs, contract labs and small commercial producers moving from trial batches to scheduled packaging.
Material choice depends on duty. We use SUS304 for brewhouse vessels and bright beer tanks in normal beer service. For fermentation tanks with high chloride exposure or aggressive cleaning cycles, SUS316L is available on request. Welds are pickled and passivated; product-contact surfaces are polished to Ra ≤0.8 μm where required. Cooling jackets are dimple or coil type, sized for the batch and yeast load. We pressure-test every jacket and vessel and fit relief valves sized to the working pressure before shipment. Seals, clamps and gaskets are selected for steam, CIP chemicals and glycol service.

FAQ
Why control fermentation temperature? Yeast performance and flavor stability depend on stable temperature. A 500L batch can drift quickly without jacket control, especially in small rooms.
How do I choose capacity? Match working volume to packaged batch size and leave headspace for krausen. Confirm ceiling height before stacking tanks.
When should I choose a conical bottom? Conical fermenters make yeast cropping and trub removal easier. For clean ale production and repeated harvesting, they are usually the practical choice. Bright beer tanks can be flat-bottom if you mainly clarify and package.
How is CIP handled? We fit dedicated CIP ports, spray balls and drain outlets. Keep pump flow and chemical concentration matched to tank size; undersized CIP often causes hidden soil in the cone.
What do you need before quoting? Batch size, beer style, tank count, ceiling height and available glycol capacity. Vertical stackable tanks save floor space but require structural checks and safe access.
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.”
