Ferment the wash and distill with one integrated stainless steel system.
The BREWHA Complete Liquor Distilling System combines a sanitary conical vessel, electric heating, matched power controls and a stainless steel distillation assembly in one compact, expandable platform. Choose from pilot and commercial capacities for recipe development, repeatable production and planned growth—without building your operation around multiple disconnected tanks.
- Pilot through commercial capacities
- Matched vessel, heaters and power controls
- Configuration guidance from BREWHA
Commercial purchase note: Final equipment configuration, working volume, electrical requirements, freight and lead time should be confirmed with BREWHA before shipment.
Why Choose the BREWHA Distilling System?
- Streamlined workflow: ferment and distill in the same primary vessel when the wash and yeast conditions permit.
- Less equipment clutter: combine the core vessel, electric heating, controls and distillation hardware in one coordinated system.
- Pilot-to-commercial sizing: develop recipes on a compact pilot still or select a larger configuration for commercial production.
- Sanitary stainless steel construction: durable vessels, valves and tri-clamp fittings designed for beverage production.
- Open vessel access: the completely removable lid makes inspection, cleaning and servicing easier.
- Controlled electric heating: heating and power-control equipment are matched to the selected system configuration.
- Expandable platform: add chilling, pumping, additional fermenters and compatible process equipment as production grows.
- Multi-purpose vessel: the pressure-rated conical tank can also support fermentation, conditioning and brite-tank use.
What Is Included?
Each Complete Liquor Distilling System includes the principal equipment needed to build a coordinated distilling setup:
- Stainless steel conical vessel with completely removable lid
- Sanitary valves and tri-clamp fittings
- Stainless steel distillation and condenser assembly
- Stainless steel immersion heating equipment
- Power-control system matched to the selected configuration
- Stainless steel filter basket
The vessel is water jacketed to support temperature control. Insulation, heater quantity and controller configuration vary by system size. Review the selected variant and confirm the final configuration with BREWHA before ordering.
Designed for Sugar-, Extract-, Juice- and Fruit-Based Washes
This system is intended for washes made from fermentable ingredients such as cane sugar, malt extract, fruit juice and similar materials that do not require all-grain mashing or lautering.
If your process begins with whole cereal grain, choose a BREWHA BIAC complete brewing system and add compatible equipment from the distilling equipment collection.
See the Commercial Distilling System in Operation
Watch how the BREWHA system heats the wash, directs vapor through the distillation assembly and condenses it for collection.
Choose the Right Commercial Still Size
Select a system according to your target working volume, available electrical service, floor space and plans for future growth. Product options show gross tank volume; usable process volume is typically 10–20% lower depending on the wash, operating method and required headspace.
| Gross tank volume | Typical application | Available electrical choices |
|---|---|---|
| 60 L / 16 US gal | Pilot production and recipe development | 240 V / single phase |
| 90 L / 24 US gal | Larger pilot batches and small-scale production | 208 or 240 V / single phase |
| 240 L / 2 BBL | Entry-level commercial production | 208 or 240 V / single phase |
| 420 L / 3.5 BBL | Growing commercial operations | 208 or 240 V / single or three phase |
| 720 L / 6 BBL | Higher-volume commercial production | 208 or 240 V / single or three phase |
| 1,050 L / 9 BBL | Larger commercial production | 208 or 240 V / three phase |
| 2,200 L / 19 BBL | Highest-capacity commercial configuration shown | 208 or 240 V / three phase |
Electrical choices shown above summarize the current product options. Confirm voltage, phase, amperage, heater configuration and local electrical requirements with BREWHA before ordering. Larger controllers must be reviewed and hard-wired by a qualified electrician.
Can You Distill Directly After Fermentation?
Often, yes. With a low-flocculating yeast and a wash that leaves little material on the heaters, heat can be increased gradually after fermentation.
If the wash contains substantial yeast, grain material or other solids that may coat the immersion heaters, rack the wash out of the vessel and clean the heaters thoroughly before returning the liquid for distillation. Material left on an immersion heater can trap heat, scorch and create undesirable flavours. Confirm a new recipe and operating method with a pilot batch before scaling production.
Proven in a Working Brewery-Distillery
Sugar Hill Distillery and Apparition Brewing built a dual-permitted operation around BREWHA equipment and schedules the shared platform for beer or distilling production.
“The BREWHA system allows me to do both brewing and distilling.”
This is one operator’s experience under its local approvals. Shared-space, shared-equipment and production rules vary by jurisdiction.

Expand the System as Production Grows
Start with the core distilling system and add supporting components when your process requires them:
- Water chiller for fermentation-temperature control
- Additional conical fermenters for increased production capacity
- Pump equipment for transfers and process flexibility
- Plate chilling equipment for rapid liquid cooling
- Dispensing equipment for serving suitable beverages directly from the vessel
- Additional compatible distillation hardware for the process and spirit style you intend to produce

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this system suitable for commercial distilling?
Yes. BREWHA offers pilot and commercial configurations with gross tank capacities from 60 L through 2,200 L. Suitability depends on the required working volume, electrical service, facility, intended process and local regulatory requirements.
Can the system mash grain?
No. This package is designed for sugar-, extract-, juice- and fruit-based washes. To mash whole cereal grains, begin with a BREWHA BIAC all-grain brewing system and add compatible distillation hardware.
Are the vessels jacketed?
Yes. The vessel includes a water jacket for temperature management. Insulation and related equipment vary with the selected size.
Can the vessel also be used as a brite tank?
Yes. The conical vessel is pressure rated to 14.9 psig and can support conditioning or brite-tank use before serving or packaging. Always operate the vessel and distillation equipment according to BREWHA instructions and applicable regulations.
Can I add more equipment later?
Yes. The modular platform can be expanded with compatible fermenters, cooling, pumping, transfer, dispensing and distillation equipment as production requirements change.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the desired working volume, available electrical service, ceiling height, floor space, drainage, ventilation, cooling requirements and applicable licences or approvals. Commercial electrical equipment should be reviewed and installed by a qualified electrician.
Build the Right Distilling System for Your Operation
The best configuration depends on more than tank capacity. BREWHA can help evaluate your wash type, production goals, facility limitations, electrical service and useful accessories before you order.
