Description
6BBL brewhouse for repeatable wort production
This is a four-vessel 6BBL brewhouse: mash tun, lauter tun, kettle and whirlpool. We arrange it for taproom breweries and small craft plants that need clear separation between conversion, wort separation, boil and trub settling. A 6BBL batch is roughly 7 hL of hot wort, so the vessel geometry, jacket area and piping layout matter more than the nominal tank size.
Fabrication and materials
Wort contact surfaces are normally 304 stainless steel. We use 316L where chloride exposure, cleaning chemicals or customer specifications justify it. Welds are purged, pickled and passivated; internal surfaces are finished to about Ra 0.8 micrometres or better. Seals are EPDM or silicone, selected for steam, CIP caustic and temperature cycles. We keep CIP spray paths, drain slopes and manway access in mind during layout, not after fabrication.
Practical fit
These systems suit brewers running several brew days per week and wanting room to add tanks later. Steam jackets, electric elements or direct fire are available, but the choice changes utility load, kettle design and floor clearance. Whirlpool performance depends on entry velocity and wort height, so we set the tangential inlet and standpipe around your batch size.

FAQ
Can mash and lauter share one vessel? Yes, but separate vessels give faster turnarounds and better lautering control at this scale.
Do we need a whirlpool tank? If you package hoppy or clarity-sensitive beer, a dedicated whirlpool reduces trub carryover and cleaning time.
What should we confirm before ordering? Batch size, beer styles, brew days per week, available height, utility type and future tank count.
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.”
