Description
7BBL Two-Vessel Electric Brewhouse: What the Kit Covers
This brewhouse is built for breweries moving from pilot batches to a repeatable 7BBL cast-out volume, roughly 8.2 hl. The two-vessel arrangement pairs a combination mash/lauter tun with a whirlpool kettle on a shared platform. Electric heating removes the burner room, flue and gas train from the layout, which matters when the brewhouse sits inside a leased building or a compact production hall.
Build details that affect daily operation
Both vessels are SS304. The kettle shell runs 3 mm; the mash tun uses 2–3 mm depending on diameter. Product-contact joints are TIG welded with argon purge, then pickled and passivated. Interior welds are ground flush. The mash tun receives a 2B finish, while the kettle can be lightly polished to reduce protein adhesion. The lauter false bottom uses laser-cut 0.7–1.0 mm slots on a removable support frame. Manway gaskets are food-grade EPDM; silicone is available when caustic CIP runs above 80°C.
Kettle elements mount through the lower shell with individual terminal covers. A 36–48 kW bank gives a practical 1.0–1.5°C per minute rise on a 7BBL batch, though the building supply usually sets the real limit. Confirm available amperage before fixing element count.

Buying questions we hear
Can the kettle double as a whirlpool?
Yes. A tangential inlet and a 20–30 minute rest are normally enough for a stable trub cone.
Is 316L necessary?
For most municipal water profiles, SS304 is adequate. High-chloride water or aggressive acid cleaning changes the recommendation.
How is CIP handled?
Spray balls, a CIP pump and dedicated return lines are specified with the kit. Dead legs and line slopes are reviewed during layout.
Is the platform included?
Yes, with either a stainless top on a coated frame or full stainless construction.

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.”
