The Monster Mill MM2 versus MM3 debate is the most common mill comparison among homebrewers who’ve already decided on a quality roller mill and are choosing between two-roller and three-roller configurations.
Beer Brewing
The grain mill comparison between a Corona-style plate mill and a proper two-roller malt mill represents a fundamental choice in homebrewing equipment — they are genuinely different tools that produce different crush quality, and the difference affec
The uKeg from GrowlerWerks is one of the most well-designed portable pressurized growlers on the market, and I’ve used the 64oz version extensively for transporting homebrewed IPA and saison to outdoor events where freshness matters.
Mini kegs and growlers serve the same basic purpose — portable beer storage outside of bottles — but they differ fundamentally in how long they keep beer fresh.
Nitrogen and beer gas (a CO2/nitrogen blend, typically 75% N2 / 25% CO2 called “Guinness Gas” or “G-Mix”) serve different purposes in draft beer, and the distinction matters practically for homebrewers who want to serve nitrogenated stouts and cream
CO2 tank size selection is one of the first practical decisions in building a kegging setup, and getting it right saves both money and inconvenience over the long run.
Intertap and Nukatap are the two dominant flow control faucets in the homebrewing market, both offering adjustable pour rate at the faucet rather than through line length management.
Perlick faucets versus standard chrome faucets is a comparison that divides homebrewers neatly into two camps, and having poured thousands of pints through both I understand both positions.
The Catalyst Fermentation System from Craft a Brew is one of the more innovative plastic fermenters to emerge in the homebrewing market — a conical-bottom design in food-grade Tritan plastic that brings the yeast separation benefit of stainless conic
Fermenting directly in stainless steel — whether a dedicated fermenter like the Kegmenter or a repurposed corny keg — offers genuine advantages for closed fermentation, pressure capability, and elimination of oxygen pickup during transfer.
