Standort： Australien
As consumer demand grows for diverse beverage experiences, many craft breweries are expanding beyond beer production. By investing in both brewery equipment and distillation systems, they can create a wider portfolio that includes not only craft beer but also premium spirits. Recently, an Australian client chose this path by installing a complete 500L brewery system alongside a professional distillation setup, enabling them to brew fresh beer and distill high-quality whiskey, gin, and rum under one roof.
500L Brewery System for Craft Brewing
The brewhouse is built around a 500L 2-vessel system (Mash/Lauter Tun + Kettle/Whirlpool) with steam heating, SUS304 pipelines, a heat exchanger, glycol cooling, and a CIP system. With a PLC control system, brewers can manage recipes precisely, ensuring repeatable results. This setup is ideal for craft breweries, brewpubs, and taprooms that demand both stable output and recipe development flexibility.
Main Configurations for Brewery Equipment:
- Milling System: 100–150 Kg/h
- 500L 2-Vessel Brewhouse + 800L Hot Water Tank (steam heating)
- SUS304 Heat Exchanger (5m²)
- Four 500L Fermentation Tanks / Unitanks
- 1500L Glycol Water Tank + 5HP Chiller
- PLC Control System
- CIP Cleaning Unit
Distillation System for Premium Spirits
The client also installed a 500L–1000L pot still system equipped with a copper pot still, rectification column, dephlegmator, condenser, and collection tanks.
- Copper Pot Still: Enhances spirit purity by removing sulfur compounds.
- Rectification Column: Allows fine separation of fractions for better control of aroma and flavor.
- Condenser & Dephlegmator: Ensure smooth distillation with stable cooling and reflux control.
This setup enables the production of whiskey, gin, and rum with consistent quality, helping breweries diversify their offerings and create immersive customer experiences on-site.
By combining a 500L brewery system with a professional distillation system, our Australian client has positioned their business for growth in both the craft beer and craft spirits markets. Whether producing beer, whiskey, gin, rum, or vodka, choosing the right equipment is essential for quality and consistency.
If you are planning to expand your brewery with a distillation unit, our team provides custom brewery and distillation equipment solutions tailored to your product goals.
Choosing the Right Distillation Equipment for Different Spirits
Different spirits require specific equipment design to achieve authentic character and consistent quality.
Whiskey Distillation Equipment
Whiskey is typically distilled in traditional copper pot stills, which enhance flavor complexity by interacting with the spirit vapor. A simple pot still with a wide neck is often preferred to retain heavier congeners, creating a rich, full-bodied whiskey.
Gin Stills
Gin requires a rectification column with botanical baskets for vapor infusion. The column provides higher rectification levels, while the gin basket allows for the extraction of botanical flavors such as juniper, citrus, and spices.
Rum Distillation System
Rum can be distilled either in pot stills for bold, robust flavors or in column stills for lighter, cleaner profiles. A hybrid system (pot still + rectification column) provides flexibility to produce both styles.
Vodka Equipment
Vodka requires a high level of purification, best achieved with a tall rectification column featuring multiple plates or packed sections. This ensures maximum removal of impurities and a clean, neutral spirit.
Brandy Stills
Brandy distillation benefits from copper pot stills with a gentle heat source to preserve delicate fruit aromas. A short column or simple pot design is usually ideal.
Key Components of the Distillation System
Onion Head
Copper construction enlarges spirit contact area, removes volatile sulfides, and improves flavor through reactions with acids and fats.
Verflüssiger
Copper cooling tubes transfer heat to circulating water, condensing vapors into distillate. Integrated ports ensure stable thermal regulation.
Distillation Column
Equipped with bubble cap trays and sight glasses, the 4-plate column ensures precise congener separation for whisky and gin. A top dephlegmator enhances alcohol-water separation.
Large-View Tempered Glass Manhole
304 stainless steel with tempered glass, offering excellent sealing and safe visual monitoring of tank contents.
Distillation Pot
Copper inner shell with stainless steel outer shell, fitted with thermometer, pressure gauge, probe, safety valve, CIP ball, and drain valve.
Gin Basket
Designed for gin production to infuse botanicals, enriching aroma and taste.
