Description
500L Gas-Fired Brewhouse for Restaurant Brewing
This 500L brewhouse is aimed at brewers who need a compact gas-fired hot side in a restaurant, brewpub, or small craft brewery. A typical batch yields 500L of wort, with vessel layout arranged around your menu, turnover, and available floor space. For many sites, a mash/lauter tun plus kettle/whirlpool is practical; a separate hot liquor tank can be added when cleaning and sparging demand more hot water.
Fabrication and materials
We build vessels in SUS304 as standard, with SUS316L available for wort contact areas where chloride exposure or cleaning practice calls for it. TIG welds are pickled and passivated, and internal surfaces can be polished to Ra 0.8 µm or better on request. Gaskets are EPDM or silicone, selected against your cleaning chemicals. Gas-fired units need attention to burner clearance, flue routing, and make-up air, so we confirm the site layout before finalizing the frame and stack connections.
Practical configuration
- Direct gas burner with flame supervision and ventilation considerations
- CIP spray ball and wort-side piping with sanitary clamps
- Whirlpool tangential inlet where the vessel layout allows
- Optional hot liquor tank, platform, and wort chiller interface

FAQ
Can it fit a restaurant? Yes, if gas supply, exhaust, floor loading, and service clearance are checked early. Kitchen gas pressure and flue route often decide the final frame height.
Why choose 500L? It matches small-batch variety and brewpub demand without committing to a larger hot side. The right vessel count depends on how often you brew and how many beers you rotate.
What should we prepare before quoting? Send your gas type and pressure, ceiling height, floor plan, batch target, beer styles, and planned fermentation 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.”
