Limited Edition Beer Recipe Kits!

Midwest is offering limited edition beer recipe kits. Because of the reduced

availability of hops in 2008, many popular varieties will not be available to homebrewers.

WHO? Midwest is the largest retail home brew and wine making supply shop in Minnesota. Our employees have years of homebrewing and wine making experience from extract brewing to all grain brewing. Our staff can also formulate beer recipes and wine recipes. We can answer all your questions about home brewing and home wine making.

WHAT? Our inventory is huge. Rarely will you find that we are out of an homebrew or wine making product. Our malt extract, hops and yeast arrive weekly, guaranteeing freshness. We are "THE KING OF KITS". We are constantly brewing and fine tuning our selection of homebrewing recipe kits. Checkout all of our 72 homebrewing recipe kits and 65 wine kits. Keep in touch with our web site and check out our recipes of the month and seasonal recipe specials.

WHY? Why do we give out so many free homebrewing videos. Because it helps to see someone demonstrating brewing techniques on video. This takes any guess work out of homebrewing and will give you more consistent results. Intermediate to advanced brewers will appreciate this video as well. We decided to make our kits available nationally because of our customers. They kept telling us how the quality and selection of our recipe kits are better than any they had seen locally and nationally. After checking out every single homebrewing web site on the internet and getting a catalog from each outlet, we think they are right. We are proud of our selection.
