The catalyst fermentation system

[rtracer]

Got the email from Northern brewer about it. Looks pretty cool, almost a better version of the fast ferment. I do like the non proprietary trub dump/yeast harvester. Anyone use it yet? A bit pricey at $200, but seems nice and price includes stand and a couple accessories.

Convince me that isn't an upside down carboy and a Mason jar.

That isn't an upside down carboy and a mason jar - honest. Good?

Not convincing enough.

For that price I'd get the Brewtech fancy stainless bucket.

I don't know that I'd put this on my short list either though.

Why would want I do that? Thanks for the helpful informative post...

Come on man relax. Just get it if you want it. I'm sure you'll love it and then you can tell me all about how awesome it is. Then I'll be happy for you and we could drink a beer over it.

Ehhh, 20g Spike is next on my "large" purchase list
$100 I'd buy it though

Now you're talking. I wish there were more options out there with ferrules like the Spike fermenters.

Edit
I should probably throw a bone to Brewtech too. They also use t/c ferrules.

As listed at the bottom of this page, there are a few threads extant discussing the pros and cons of this fermentor...

Cheers!

I'm guessing they're selling it for Craft a Brew Home Brewing, link? I remember when they were developing it before bringing out for sale.
