What are Clone Kits?
Clone kits are replicas of commercial beers available throughout the country. Midwest Supplies offers several different types of clone kits that are designed to taste just like their commercial brothers. They are a good way to make a beer that you are familiar with so you feel comfortable with what you are making. Or, make one to see how you compare with the large commercial brewers out there.
The internet is a great resource for recipes. Just do a quick internet search for your favorite beer, type in recipe after it, and you should pull up several recipes for you to use. Most of the time it isn’t that a person wants a clone of a beer, but rather something in that style of beer. As long as you know the style, we probably have a kit that you would like.
For example, let’s say you really like “Boulevard Wheat” an unfiltered, bottle conditioned wheat beer. We do not have a clone of that beer, but try our Hanks Hefeweisen kit instead. You might find you like our kit better, or you can always alter the beer closer to your liking.
Midwest Supplies offers a complete selection of whatever you need to make a beer as well as our kits. The great thing with this hobby is that you can make any beer that you can imagine. Experimenting with the grains or hops will change the overall flavor of the beer. We try to have the largest selection of kits available, but sometimes you want something different.
Don’t be afraid to try something new.
A great resource for other recipes is our forum website at www.brew-wineforum.com. We currently have over 500 recipes on there from our customers. Who knows? Maybe we’ll be making one of your beers a clone someday.
