Description
Built for single-batch wort production at 500L
This brewhouse pairs a mash/lauter tun with a kettle/whirlpool, both in 304 stainless, giving one hot liquor path, one CIP loop and one operator position per brew. At 500L of cast wort per turn, it fits brewpubs running two to four brews a day and small production breweries locking down recipes before scaling. Three-vessel lines buy you parallel mashing; most buyers at this size don\’t need it, and the extra vessel costs floor space and cleaning time they can\’t recover.
Vessel fabrication and finish
Shells are rolled from 3mm SUS304 plate, TIG welded with full penetration on longitudinal and circumferential seams. Product-contact welds are ground flush and the interior is mechanically polished to Ra ≤ 0.8 µm — not a cosmetic polish, but one you can swab and passivate after. False bottom slots are laser cut in a separate plate so the mash bed stays removable and inspectable. Electric heating elements sit in a jacket welded to the kettle bottom and lower sidewall, with thermal medium between element and product wall. That keeps heat flux off the wort directly; scorching on a 500L batch is a real risk if you oversize the element density. The jacket is baffled, and the element flanges are accessible from the frame without pulling the vessel.

Before you request a quote
Is 500L per batch or per day? Per batch. Gravity, brew length and expected turns per week decide whether we upsize the kettle or keep the pair matched. Can we add a whirlpool later? Not on the kettle vessel — it is fabricated with the tangential inlet. Decide at order. What about steam? The electric jacket is standalone; if you have a boiler we can supply steam-jacketed vessels with the same footprint. Lead time and spares? Elements, gaskets and spray balls are standard stock items, which matters when a heating failure stops a brew day.
Tell us your batch size, beer type, number of fermentation tanks and available space. We can recommend the brewhouse configuration, heating capacity and CIP layout 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.”
