Description
This automatic brewhouse is built around a 500–2000 L batch and is supplied as a two-vessel mash/lauter and kettle/whirlpool set with hot liquor tank, transfer pump, plate chiller and PLC/HMI control. It suits ale, lager, wheat and specialty releases where repeatability matters more than raw output.
Set capacity by net beer into the fermenter, not nominal tank volume. Account for trub, shrinkage and transfer losses. A 1000 L brewhouse rarely fills 1000 L fermenters on every brew; plan 5–10% headspace and match brews per day to HLT and chiller capacity.
Fabrication and process details
Wetted parts are SUS304 as standard; 316L is specified for higher chloride exposure, aggressive cleaning or long-term flavor stability. We TIG weld, pickle and passivate, then polish contact surfaces. Kettle and HLT jackets are pressure-tested. Working pressure and relief valve setting are matched to vessel design; never cap or isolate a relief valve. CIP uses a spray ball and dedicated return line, with tri-clamp connections for wort, CIP and glycol.
Fermenters are separate from the brewhouse. Conical bottoms help yeast cropping, dry hopping and trub removal. Single-wall tanks suit cold rooms; jacketed tanks need glycol and insulation. Small brewpubs often choose 500–1000 L with manual valves; commercial plants go 1500–2000 L with automated valve manifolds and PLC recipes.

FAQ
Can one system brew lager and ale? Yes. Brewhouse steps differ, while fermentation temperature and yeast handling remain separate. Provide recipe profiles at order.
Do I need conical fermenters? For yeast recovery and dry hopping, yes. Serving tanks and bright beer vessels use different configurations.
What is needed for a quote? Batch size, beer types, brews per day, fermenter count, available height, steam or electric heating, and glycol capacity.
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.”
