Description
1000L Brewing Equipment for Small Commercial Beer Production
We manufacture this 1000L SUS304 brewery package for small commercial operations that need repeatable batches without oversized utilities. It is commonly used as a brewhouse with matched 1000L fermenters, or as a standalone fermentation and conditioning tank when the brewhouse already exists. The working volume leaves headspace for krausen and cleaning, which matters when production moves from test batches to scheduled accounts.
Fabrication details
Tank shells use SUS304, with SUS316L available for high-chloride cleaning or special product contact needs. We TIG weld product-contact seams, then pickle and passivate the heat-affected zones. Interior surfaces are polished to Ra ≤ 0.8 µm where required, and exterior surfaces receive a brushed finish. Sanitary tri-clamp fittings, PTFE or EPDM gaskets, a CIP spray ball, and a 0.2–0.3 MPa safety valve are selected around the cleaning and pressure plan.
Dimple cooling jackets on the cone and side wall give control during active fermentation. A separate glycol circuit and PT100 sensor let the brewery hold ale or lager profiles without relying on room temperature. Cone angle, racking arm height, manway size, and leg clearance can be adjusted for the room layout and floor drainage.
Typical applications
- Small craft breweries and taproom production
- Brewpubs adding packaged or draft accounts
- Contract brewing and pilot batches
- Beverage fermentation with compatible process controls

FAQ
Why control temperature in a 1000L fermenter? Fermentation heat changes with yeast strain and gravity. Jacket cooling keeps the profile stable, which protects flavor and avoids stalled batches.
Do I need a conical bottom? A cone helps yeast collection and trub removal. Flat-bottom tanks suit some conditioning duties, but conical tanks simplify harvesting and CIP drainage.
How is CIP handled? A spray ball, drain outlet, and correct pump flow clean the tank interior. We match fitting sizes and passivation to the cleaning chemicals used on site.
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.
