Description
What this tank is for
A 500L fermentation tank sits in the useful middle ground for a small craft brewery or kombucha plant: enough volume for repeatable commercial batches, but still practical to cool, clean and move without a full cellar crew. We build these as working vessels. Shell, cone, jacket layout and fittings follow batch size, beer style and available height.
Fabrication details
SUS304 is standard. For high-chloride water, acidic fruit additions or aggressive cleaning, we quote 316L wetted parts. Interior welds are ground smooth, cleaned and passivated where required. Cone angle, outlet size and racking arm position are matched to yeast handling and trub removal. Dimple or coil jackets are sized for glycol, with separate zones where tank diameter justifies it.
Applications
Use it for primary fermentation, secondary conditioning, kombucha fermentation or bright beer with the correct pressure rating and fittings. Small breweries often run dedicated fermenter and brite tanks; kombucha producers focus on clean transfer, pH-resistant materials and reliable pull-down.

| Connections | CIP, blow-off, sample, racking, PRV |
| Finish | Sanitary interior finish, exterior brushed or polished |
FAQ
Can one 500L tank handle both beer and kombucha? Yes, if wetted materials, cleaning schedule and pressure rating suit both processes. Do not assume a beer fermenter is automatically right for acidic kombucha.
How do I choose cone and fittings? Match the cone and racking arm to yeast flocculation and trub load. Crowded fittings make CIP harder.
What pressure should I specify? Set working pressure and safety valve together with the tank shell rating. Never rely on a valve alone to define vessel pressure.
Procurement notes
Do not size from the nominal number alone. Give us batch volume, original gravity or kombucha acidity, fermentation temperature, glycol supply temperature, room height and door width. Pressure rating and safety valve setting must be agreed before fabrication.
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.”
Polly is the man! I highly recommend him and this products they produce! I’m very satisfied. she communicates very well and the quality of workmanship is excellent! Shipping was exceptional. Thannks Polly and team
