Some varieties are available by the pound! We are not sure how long this will last. If you have a favorite hop, now might be the time to stock up on your favorite hop.

Shipping switch to FedEx

Midwest Home brew and Wine Making Supply is pleased to announce we are switching over to FedEx from UPS. Our number one reason for doing so is that FedEx delivers Tuesday through Saturday. Since 90% of our orders are residential deliveries, it only makes sense to offer Saturday delivery. Midwest will still offer a unique feature to our ordering system. Upon request, Midwest will email your FedEx tracking number at the end of each shipping day. Look for this feature when you place your order. Please call our shipping center at 1 (888) 449-2739 for all tracking number inquiries.

Hall of Fame!
New! We've created Midwest's Homebrewing and Winemaking Hall of Fame to give recognition to experienced brewers and winemakers. It is also a great forum to inspire people ... more info

The items below will explain a little about us and our philosophy. This is an exciting time for us, so be sure to bookmark our site so you can watch our site grow and evolve. Plus it will allow you to check in on our great monthly specials.

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.
