Description
Fermentation tanks for 7–20 BBL production
We manufacture isobaric conical fermenters in 7, 8, 10, 15, and 20 BBL sizes. They handle primary fermentation, dry hopping, and carbonation in one vessel. The isobaric rating allows counterpressure transfers, which reduces oxygen pickup and lets you package highly carbonated beer without a separate bright tank if your process allows.
Capacity choice should follow brewhouse output, not floor space alone. A 7 BBL tank suits a taproom with limited cold room height. A 20 BBL unit works when you have repeat batches, enough glycol capacity, and a ceiling that clears the cone and CIP arm. If your brewhouse makes 10 BBL, a 15 BBL fermenter may sit half empty or slow your turnover.
Stainless, welds, and cleanability
Standard tanks use SUS304 on wetted surfaces. For sour beer, mixed culture, or aggressive water chemistry, we recommend 316L. Inner welds are ground and passivated to limit crevices. Cooling jackets are dimple or channel type, covered with PU insulation and a 304 outer shell. We pressure-test every jacket and shell before shipment. Fittings typically include tri-clamp racking arm, sample valve, dry hop port, CIP spray ball, and pressure relief valve. Access orientation matters; we position ports so brewers can reach them from the floor, not from a ladder.
Temperature and pressure control
Glycol jackets on the cone and body hold fermentation temperature and allow crash cooling. On 15 and 20 BBL tanks, split jackets reduce stratification. Working pressure is usually 15–30 psi, but the final rating depends on shell thickness and cone design. The PRV protects the tank when a valve is closed and fermentation continues. CIP works best with a spray ball matched to tank diameter and a pump that delivers the required flow. Keep CIP and product lines separate.

FAQ
Can I carbonate in the fermenter? Yes, with a pressure-rated tank, carbonation stone, and PRV.
Do I need 316L? Only if your beer or water chemistry requires better chloride resistance.
What affects price most? Capacity, pressure rating, jacket area, finish, and fitting 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.”
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
It took 60 days from ordering to delivery, and it looks like a work of art. Thank you to Polly for her help.
It was quite a big job to put the distiller together, so I asked a friend to help me, and I managed to get it done in just eight hours. I’m really pleased with it – it looks brilliant.Ryan Murphy
We are so happy with our new copper distillation system from ACE Distillery Equipment. The equipment is of a fine quality, well crafted and beautifully finished.
The whole process from manufacturing, shipping, installation to commissioning was seamless. The ACE team were professional, responsive and very knowledgeable. They helped us complete the installation successfully and gave great technical support.
It still looks amazing in our distillery and does exactly what it says on the tin. We highly recommend ACE to anyone looking for reliable and high quality distillation equipment.
Thank you ACE team for the great work!”
