Description
What a turnkey package actually contains
A 2500L to 5000L system is not a brewhouse alone. Ours ships as a matched set: two- or three-vessel brewhouse, hot liquor tank, cold liquor tank, whirlpool, plate chiller, jacketed unitanks, glycol chiller, CIP skid, and a PLC or semi-automatic control cabinet. Vessel dimensions are built to your batch size and room layout, so a low-ceiling cellar often means wider tanks rather than smaller ones.
Steel, welds and finish
Shells are 3 mm SUS304 as standard. We switch the wort contact side to 316L when chloride exposure or aggressive caustic/acid cycles are expected. Interior welds are ground flush, pickled, passivated, and polished to Ra ≤ 0.8 µm. Dimple jackets are welded and tested before the vessel leaves the floor: 1.5× working pressure on the jacket, 0.3 MPa on the inner shell, with the safety valve set to match. EPDM gaskets are standard; silicone or PTFE where temperature or cleaning chemistry requires it.
Sizing by production rhythm
2500L and 3000L fit taproom breweries running roughly 10–15 brews weekly with 4–8 fermenters. 3500L makes sense when you run two turns on the brewhouse and want headspace for dry-hopping. 5000L only pays off if fermentation capacity, chiller tonnage, and knockout time keep pace — a 5000L brewhouse feeding four tanks is a bottleneck, not a upgrade.
| Model | Working volume | Inner pressure | Jacket pressure | Cooling area |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2500L | 2500 L | 0.3 MPa | 0.4 MPa | 4.2 m² |
| 3000L | 3000 L | 0.3 MPa | 0.4 MPa | 4.8 m² |
| 3500L | 3500 L | 0.3 MPa | 0.4 MPa | 5.5 m² |
| 5000L | 5000 L | 0.3 MPa | 0.4 MPa | 6.8 m² |
Questions we get during quoting
Conical or flat bottom? Conical for anything with yeast recovery, dry-hopping, or CIP without manual entry. Flat-bottom tanks serve bright beer and holding duty.
How is CIP handled? A dedicated skid with pump, heat exchanger, and three-vessel dosing; spray balls sized to tank diameter. Undersized balls leave shadowed zones at the cone.
Can glycol lines be pre-piped? Yes — we supply manifold and valve sets matched to your chiller and tank count, with insulation specified for ambient humidity in your cellar.
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.”
