Description
Line design starts with batch size
We build 5, 10 and 15 BBL craft beer brewing machines as modular lines: mill, brewhouse, hot and cold liquor tanks, conical fermenters, glycol cooling, CIP and controls. Brewpubs, contract brewers and beverage producers use them when they need repeatable batches without overbuilding the plant. The right capacity is the one your fermenter count and sales pattern can empty, not the largest vessel in the catalog.
Stainless, welds and seals
Wetted surfaces are SUS304 as standard; SUS316L is specified for coastal sites, high-chloride water or aggressive cleaning cycles. We purge welds, grind and polish contact areas, passivate after fabrication and keep inner surfaces at Ra ≤ 0.6 μm where product contact matters. Gaskets are EPDM or silicone, with PTFE where alcohol and cleaning chemicals demand it. Dimple jackets are pressure-tested before insulation and cladding.
Temperature control, pressure and cleaning
Fermentation generates heat, and a few degrees of drift changes ester and diacetyl profiles. Glycol jackets on cone and body hold the set point; a PID panel or PLC manages solenoid valves and pump logic. Each tank carries a pressure relief valve set to the working pressure, and CIP uses a spray ball, dedicated pump and tri-clamp connections for beer, CIP and glycol. Keep utility runs short and label every port before commissioning.
Typical specifications

| Working pressure | 1.5–2.0 bar, relief set accordingly |
| Connections | Tri-clamp, CIP spray ball |
| Control | PID or PLC, recipe optional |
Practical questions
Small craft brewery or commercial plant? A brewpub often needs 5–10 BBL with two to four fermenters and simple PID control. A production brewery moves to 15 BBL and larger, with more tanks, PLC recipes and bigger glycol capacity.
Why a conical bottom? It drops yeast, holds dry hops and lets you harvest or dump without opening the tank.
What do we need for a quote? Batch size, beer styles, tank count, available height and footprint, steam or electric heating, glycol supply and voltage.
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
