Description
Process fit for a 500L pub brewhouse
We supply this two-vessel 500L system for pub breweries and small craft producers who need repeatable wort production without the footprint of a three-vessel line. The mash/lauter tun and kettle/whirlpool cover the core hot-side steps. Batch size, brew length and cellar capacity matter more than nominal volume; a 500L brewhouse may run one or two brews per day, so confirm fermenter count and packaging schedule before fixing the layout.
Fabrication and materials
The vessels are built in SUS304 as standard, with 316L available for aggressive cleaning regimes or specific product needs. We control weld preparation, purge and passivation because wort-side crevices cause problems later. Interior surfaces are polished to suit CIP; exterior finish is selected for washdown conditions. Gaskets, clamp fittings and valve seats are specified for brewery temperatures and cleaning chemicals, not general-purpose service.
Heating and utilities
Electric boiler heating avoids a direct-fired brewhouse but still requires correct power supply, boiler rating and hot-water or steam design. Confirm the available voltage, phase and maximum demand; electric heating can be clean and controllable, yet undersized elements slow ramp times and extend the brew day.

FAQ
Why choose two vessels? It reduces capital cost and floor space. It suits brewers who accept sequential mashing and lautering and can manage the brew day carefully.
What about fermentation and cooling? The brewhouse must match cellar tank volume, cooling area and cold-room capacity. A 500L brewhouse with insufficient fermenter capacity creates bottlenecks.
What should be included in a quotation request? Provide beer types, batch size, brews per day, utilities, available space and future expansion. 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.”
