Description
500L Two-Vessel Electric Brewhouse for Pubs and Small Craft Breweries
This 500L two-vessel brewhouse is built for pubs and restaurant breweries that need consistent wort production without a steam boiler. The system combines mash/lauter and kettle/whirlpool in two vessels, with electric heating in the kettle. We size the heating elements and control panel to your available power supply, not the other way around.
Materials are selected for daily brewing: 304 stainless steel for product contact, with 316L available for high-chloride water or aggressive cleaning cycles. Interior welds are ground and pickled, then passivated. We polish to a Ra value suitable for brewery sanitation—typically below 0.8 µm on product surfaces. Gaskets are EPDM or silicone, depending on caustic and acid exposure.
Typical batch size is 500L in the kettle, with 550–600L working volume in the mash tun. The two-vessel layout saves floor space and simplifies operation: mash and lauter in one vessel, then transfer to the kettle for boil and whirlpool. Electric heating avoids flue gas and steam piping, which matters in restaurant cellars with limited ventilation.
| Batch size | 500 L (kettle), 550–600 L working volume (mash tun) |
| Vessels | 2: mash/lauter tun, kettle/whirlpool |
| Heating | Electric, 30–45 kW (site-dependent) |
| Material | SUS304 standard; SUS316L optional |
| Control | PLC with recipe steps, temperature and time |
| Cleaning | CIP spray ball, dedicated pump and piping |
| Wort cooling | Plate heat exchanger (sized to batch) |
Practical questions we hear before order
Why a two-vessel brewhouse instead of three? For 500L batches, a separate whirlpool vessel adds cost and footprint without much gain. Kettle/whirlpool works if you control trub carryover.
Can we run it on 220V or 380V? Yes, but amp draw and element grouping change. Send your panel capacity and we will specify contactors, breakers and cable sizes.
How do we clean it? CIP with a spray ball in each vessel, plus a small pump. We provide a valve schedule and cleaning sequence.
What about floor slope and drains? Vessels need a level pad; trench drain near the kettle is recommended. Leave service access for element replacement.
Tell us your batch size, beer type, available power and floor space. We can recommend the vessel configuration, heating power and layout for your pub 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.”
