Description
5BBL Brewhouse for Pub and Small Commercial Brewing
This 5BBL brewhouse is built for brewers who need repeatable wort production without turning the pub floor into a full industrial plant. A 5BBL batch yields roughly 155 US gallons of wort per brew. Most customers pair it with 2 to 4 fermenters, depending on turn time and beer styles.
We normally build the system as a two-vessel mash/lauter and kettle/whirlpool arrangement, or a three-vessel layout when the brewing schedule includes back-to-back batches. Vessel shells are SUS304 as standard. Wort-contact parts can be supplied in 316L when the cleaning regime or water chemistry calls for it. TIG welds are pickled and passivated, and internal surfaces are finished to suit sanitary service. Dimple jackets, insulation, and clad panels are matched to the heating method.
Heating choice matters. Electric heating is common in pubs with limited steam support. Steam works well where the brewhouse sits beside an existing boiler. Direct fire remains an option for some layouts, but local code and floor space need review early. We supply tri-clamp connections for wort, CIP, and cooling water; the control panel can be manual, PID-based, or PLC with recipe logging. CIP routing should be agreed before fabrication so spray balls, pump paths, and drain slopes are correct.

FAQ
Can we start with one brewhouse and add tanks later? Yes. Leave clearance for future fermenters and confirm chiller capacity before adding vessels.
Do we need a 3-vessel system? Only if brew frequency and labor rules demand it. Many pubs run a well-planned 2-vessel set.
What should we send for a quote? Beer styles, batches per week, heating availability, ceiling height, floor drain location, and utility voltage.
Tell us your batch size, beer type, tank count, and available space. We can recommend the vessel volume, heating method, and 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.”
