Description
Compact 500L brewing package for brewpubs
The 500L SUS304 brewing equipment is sized for small brewpubs and microbreweries that need repeatable batches without dedicating a full production hall. In most layouts we build it as a compact brewhouse with matched fermenters, so vessel count, aisle clearance and utility runs are decided together. If floor space is tight, vertical clearance for hoisting, CIP return routing and glycol pipework usually set the real limit before tank diameter does.
We fabricate wetted parts in SUS304 as standard; 316L is available where chloride exposure, cleaning chemistry or product risk justifies the cost. Welds are TIG, ground and passivated on product-contact surfaces. Inner surfaces are polished to Ra ≤0.8 µm; outer surfaces can be brushed or mirror-finished based on washdown expectations. Jackets, insulation and cladding affect both cooling performance and lead time, so we confirm them against your cellar temperature and ambient conditions rather than assuming a standard.

Applications and practical notes
Brewpub ales, lagers and seasonal releases are typical. Conical-bottom fermenters suit yeast recovery and dry hopping; unitanks can reduce transfer steps but require pressure-rated design and correct relief sizing. CIP needs adequate pump flow, spray-ball coverage and drain slope. Glycol, CO2 and CIP connections should be tri-clamp with clear labeling, and the relief valve must match the vessel rating, not the compressor or operator habit.
FAQ
Can one 500L system support multiple beers? Yes, with separate fermenters and recipe scheduling. Do we need conical tanks? If yeast handling and dry hopping matter, yes; otherwise dish-bottom tanks may fit simpler ales. What should we send for quotation? Batch size, beer styles, fermenter count, available height and floor area, steam or electric heating, glycol capacity and local voltage. Is 316L necessary? Not always; we review cleaning chemicals and water chemistry first.
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.”
