Description
Commercial Brewhouse Systems: 5–15 BBL
We build these brewhouses for production breweries that need repeatable batch volumes without overspending on automation. The 5 BBL, 10 BBL, and 15 BBL configurations share the same vessel geometry and jacket layout—only the tank diameters and heating surfaces change. That means you can start small and scale up without relearning the process.
Typical beers: ales, lagers, stouts, and seasonal releases. Temperature control matters because fermentation generates heat; without jacket cooling and a reliable glycol supply, yeast health and flavor drift. Conical bottoms help you drop trub and harvest yeast cleanly, especially on 10 BBL and larger systems.
Materials and Fabrication
We use SUS304 for most wetted parts; SUS316L is available for high-chloride water or aggressive cleaning cycles. Welds are full-penetration, ground flush on the product side, and pickled/passivated. Interior surface finishes 2B or #4 polish. All vessels pressure-tested and fitted with adjustable relief valves. CIP comes standard via spray ball and dedicated pump port; we\’ll pre-pipe CIP, wort, and glycol connections to match your floor plan.
| Capacity | Batch volume | Material | Cooling | Working pressure | Heating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 BBL | 5 bbl (5.9 hl) | SUS304 / 316L | Glycol jacket | 1.5–2.0 bar | Electric or direct fire |
| 10 BBL | 10 bbl (11.7 hl) | SUS304 / 316L | Glycol jacket | 1.5–2.0 bar | Steam or electric |
| 15 BBL | 15 bbl (17.6 hl) | SUS304 / 316L | Glycol jacket | 1.5–2.0 bar | Steam |
Selection and FAQs
Small brewpubs often choose 5 BBL with direct-fire or electric heating; commercial breweries running 20+ batches per week lean toward 15 BBL with steam. Ask yourself: batch size, batches per week, available ceiling height, and whether you\’ll package or serve on-premise.
Why conical bottom? Yeast cropping and trub removal without transferring beer.
What pressure? Working pressure 1.5–2.0 bar; relief valve set at 2.5 bar. Never rely on a single valve.
Can I add tanks later? Yes—we keep jacket and port layouts consistent across sizes.
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.”
