Description
500L SUS304 Brewing Equipment for Medium Plants
We build 500L SUS304 brewing systems for breweries that need repeatable batches without excessive utility demand. Most medium plants specify a two-vessel brewhouse—mash/lauter tun and kettle/whirlpool—paired with 500L or 1000L fermenters depending on turnover. If your taproom sells 20–30 hl per month and you package seasonally, tank count and cooling load matter more than the nominal batch size. Heat recovery on the kettle and staged glycol control cut energy use during back-to-back brews.
Materials, welds and cleaning
Product-contact vessels use SUS304; 316L is available for high-chloride water or aggressive CIP chemistry. Internal seams are TIG-welded, ground and polished to Ra ≤0.8 µm, then passivated. Dimple jackets on the cone and lower cylinder hold fermentation temperature, with 80–100 mm PU insulation under stainless cladding. CIP uses a rotating spray ball, and port placement keeps return flow direct without dead legs.
Pressure ratings and safety valves are set to local code. Fermenters typically run at 0.2–0.3 MPa working pressure with relief valve, gauge and sample valve. Conical bottoms help yeast harvesting and dry hopping; flat-bottom tanks suit short primary fermentation or clear beer storage. We confirm jacket area against your glycol temperature and crash-cooling target before quoting.

FAQ
How many fermenters should match a 500L brewhouse? Two to four 500L tanks cover most medium setups; choose 1000L tanks if you brew fewer turns per week. Can the system be expanded later? Yes—we size headers, glycol loop and CIP return for future tank additions.
Send your batch size, beer type, fermentation tank count and available space. We can recommend 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.”
