Many a craft beer drinker has dreamed of creating his or her own specialty ale, only to be thwarted by the hassle-filled home-brewing process. The Catalyst aims to solve that problem by making the fermentation process easy.
Instead of transferring your beer to a different container to remove the sediment, the sleek 6.5-gallon Catalyst lets the stuff settle on the bottom, where it’s collected in a removable mason jar. When fermentation is completed, the hose attachment makes bottling a breeze.
