At Bespoke Brewing Solutions, one of the ways we support the craft beer community is by sharing the kind of practical information that makes the equipment buying and planning process a little less overwhelming. Making informed decisions about brewing equipment is crucial, and we hope this Equipment Dimensions Guide will empower you to do so.
This FREE document covers standard sizing configurations for our cellar vessels, including outer diameter, height, dry weight, and wet weight across multiple configurations per vessel size. It covers Fermentation Vessels, Brite Beer Tanks, and Liquor Tanks.
Whether you are deep into brewery layout planning or just getting a feel for what might fit in your space, this document is a useful starting point.
Why Equipment Dimensions Matter Early in the Planning Process
Getting familiar with vessel sizing before you commit to a space or a layout is one of the smartest things a new brewery owner can do. The right layout directly affects your operational efficiency, the quality of your product, and the overall feel of your venue.
Dimensions are only part of the picture, though. Weight is just as important, and it is where many people get caught.
Pro-Tip: Underestimating weight can lead to foundation cracking and even structural failure if calculations are not done using wet weights. For example, having weight on or near trench drains can be annoying and lead to structural problems.
What's Included in the Dimensions Document

Frequently Asked Questions About Brewery Equipment Dimensions
What cellar vessel dimensions are covered in this document?
The document includes standard sizing configurations for Fermentation Vessels, Brite Beer Tanks, and Liquor Tanks. Each vessel type includes outer diameter, height, dry weight, and wet weight across multiple size options.
Why do I need wet weight, not just dry weight, for brewery vessels?
Wet weight accounts for the full weight of the vessel when loaded with liquid. Structural calculations based on dry weight alone can significantly underestimate the load on your floor, which can lead to foundation cracking or structural failure over time, especially near trench drains.
Can I use these dimensions to plan my brewery layout?
Yes. This resource is particularly useful for early-stage brewery layout planning, where you need a general sense of how much floor space and ceiling height different vessel configurations require. For a full layout, you will also want to account for utility routing, clearances, and process flow.
Are these dimensions for standard configurations only?
Yes, the document covers our standard configurations. Custom sizing is available. If you are working with an unusual space or have specific production requirements, our team can work through options with you directly.
How often is the dimensions document updated?
The document is updated periodically to reflect current standard configurations. The most recent update date is noted at the bottom of the document.
