 Who are we?
Midwest is one of the largest retail homebrewing
and winemaking shops in the United States. Our
employees have years of homebrewing and winemaking
experience, from extract brewing to all grain brewing.
We can answer your questions about homebrewing.
But I’ve never address is $9.78, a difference of only $1.49! So plan
brewed before?
That’s why we give out so many free
homebrewing and winemaking DVDs. It helps to
see someone demonstrating brewing techniques
on video. This takes any guess work out of
homebrewing and winemaking and will give you
more consistent results. If you haven’t brewed in
a while, you can watch the video again to refresh
your memory. The DVD is free with the purchase of
any Midwest Homebrewing or Winemaking Recipe
or Equipment Kit. Our kits are available nationally,
because our local customers keep telling us that the
quality and selection of our recipe kits are the best
they have tried. We are proud of our selection.
But I’ve never
made wine before?
Making wine at home is almost too easy. Visit http://www.whitelabs.
Thanks to a new generation of wine kits, home
winemakers can easily produce exceptional,
high quality wines with minimal time, effort and
expertise. These kits have won dozens of awards in
national contests in recent years. Watch the simple
steps of kit winemaking on our free DVD that is
included with any equipment kit.
Where is Midwest located?
Our store address is:
Midwest Homebrewing and Winemaking Supplies homebrewed beer or homemade wine. These two
5825 Excelsior Blvd.
St. Louis Park, Minnesota 55416
What about availability?
Our inventory is huge. Rarely will you find
that we are out of a homebrewing or winemaking
product. Our malt extract, hops and yeast arrive
weekly, guaranteeing freshness. We sell so many
winemaking kits that our inventory is constantly
rotated, so that you always get fresh ingredients.
We are “The King of Kits”. We are constantly
brewing beer and fine tuning our selection of
homebrewing recipe kits. All of our award winning
recipe kits include quality malt extract, specialty
grains, fresh hops, yeast, priming sugar and a grain
bag. Keep in touch with our web site, products and they can be shipped in the same box,
www.midwestsupplies.com and check out our recipe
kit-of-the-month club and seasonal recipe specials.
Shipping Information
Our orders are shipped via FedEx directly from
our store on a daily basis (UPS shipping is available
by request). With our FedEx tracking system we’ll
know exactly where your product is from the time
it leaves our store until it arrives at your home. We
charge you exactly what FedEx charges us. That
saves you money! Some shops dramatically inflate
their prices and offer free shipping, while others
set shipping rates based on the dollar amount
purchased. Either way you end up paying inflated
prices. Compare suppliers and save money with
Midwest! We offer a 30 day money back guarantee.

service@midwestsupplies.com
Save on Shipping
You can save a significant amount of money on
shipping by ordering several recipe kits at once. For
example, the shipping cost to send 9 lb. (the average
weight of a homebrewing recipe kit) to zone 4 is
$8.29, while the cost of sending 18 lb. to the same
your brewing sessions ahead of time, and order
two or three recipe kits at a time. By doing this, the
money you save on shipping will get you four kits
for approximately the price of three! With our wine
kits, you save even more money on shipping multiple
kits. For example, a Vintner’s Reserve Wine Kit
weighs 26 pounds. Shipping cost to zone 4 would be
$12.18, while shipping 52 pounds (2 kits) to the same
address is $19.68, a difference of only $7.50. You
can see how this can really add up to big savings!

Hop and Color Ratings
We have also added Lovibond (a standard beer
color scale) and “hoppiness” ratings to all of our
recipe kits. These ratings are meant to give you an
idea of what color each kit will produce, and how
much hop bitterness and flavor it will exhibit.
The circle indicates approximately where in the
Lovibond scale the beer’s color will be, and the
number of hops indicates hop bitterness and flavor,
from one (not hoppy) to four (very bitter). This
should aid you in your quest for the perfect recipe kit.

Information about
DW Dimensional Weight.
DW
Dimensional weight is used when packages
are large in volume, but do not weigh much.
For example, the shipping cost of a large box of
popcorn may be based on the dimensional weight
because of the amount of space it takes up on a
truck.  You may notice that many of our products
will have similar shipping weights of 30 and 70
pounds.  At first glance you may think that the
weight of these products are inaccurate.  But in
fact dimensional weight is used to determine the
shipping weights of certain products. These are the
policies of FedEx and UPS.
IMPORTANT: If you order 2 dimensional weight
Midwest will refund the difference in shipping costs.
Also, if smaller products can be packaged in the
same box with a dimensional weight product, we
will refund the difference. Midwest does not make
money on shipping.
Free DVD with any purchase!
Midwest’s DVD covers a lot more
information than our previous version.
In this edition we cover both beer and wine
making, but we go into much more detail.
Our DVD includes:
• A full look at extract brewing.
• A practical method of all grain brewing.
• A step by step on kit wines.
• Full detail on wines from fruit.
• Common questions and answers.

who wants to make the best beer they can from the start.
This is accomplished through two-stage fermentation. Primary
fermentation is the first step. During this 5-7 day process, most
of the fermentation takes place and by the end of this period
most of the particles and solids will settle to the bottom. The
second step is transferring the beer in to the secondary fermenter
(7-21 days). Separating the beer from the sediment will result
in clearer beer and improve the characteristics of the beer. Beer
can condition and clarify in the secondary fermenter for weeks
or months depending on the style and strength of the beer.
Transferring the beer into a 5 gallon glass carboy or Better Bottle
will reduce oxidation of the beer. This kit is highly recommended
if you intend to brew any high alcohol or lager beers.

Midwest Master Brewer’s Equipment Kit with Kegging Setup

Midwest Master Brewer’s Equipment Kit with
Kegging Setup: This is the sweetest setup that we
at Midwest could dream up. PLEASE NOTE: This
system will require an extra refrigerator with at
least 27 inches of clearance to fit your keg inside.
Used refrigerators are easy to find. Check your
local want ads; many of our local customers have
found them very cheap or even free. We start
with a two-stage fermentation system, which
includes one 6.5 gallon plastic fermenter for
your primary, and two 5 gallon glass carboys so
that you can have two batches in the secondary
at the same time. Of course there are stoppers
and airlocks for all the carboys, a triplescale
hydrometer with test jar and 8 oz. of One Step
No-rinse Cleanser. Then we set you up
with all of the siphoning items you’ll need:
a Fermtech AutoSiphon, 5 feet of siphon
tubing, and a carboy brush. Also includes
three Fermometers, so that you can monitor
the fermentation temperatures on all of your
vessels. We also include a Refrigerator Thermostat Control so that you will be able to brew lagers and keep your kegged homebrew
at the optimum temperature. Did we mention that this kit also includes a Corny Keg System (see page 53 for more details)?
No more bottling! As a special promotion, you may add more Corny kegs to this system at a price of $28.00 each, limit three.

rewarding. Our DVD will take you step by step through
brewing beer in your home. We have customers who
come into the store who are considering homebrewing
and want to buy a book to learn about brewing before
they start. Our response is “Just buy the equipment

Other items required to brew but not included in equipment kits

Midwest Recipe Kits Brewing Kettle Bottles

Midwest offers a large selection of 5 gallon
recipe kits. For first time brewers, we recommend
brewing an Ale recipe kit. Ales ferment at room
temperature and are ready to drink faster than
lagers. Some of our more popular recipe kits include:
Liberty Cream Ale, Big Ben Pale Ale, Autumn
Amber Ale and our most popular recipe kit, the
Irish Red Ale. Check out our Light, Amber, Dark
and Wheat beer recipe sections. Any of the recipes
in these sections will be the perfect addition to our
Equipment Kits, but we suggest a light or amber ale
kit (pages 9 and 10) for first time brewers. Midwest
Brewing Recipe Kits can be found on pages 9 - 18.
Nine out of ten gift givers will include a recipe kit
with their gift.
The brewing process requires the brewer to mix
and boil the ingredients from our recipe kits in
a stock pot. Many brewers might already have a
stock pot in their kitchen that might work for this
process. The pot must be at least 3 gallons in size.
Stainless steel, Enamel and Silverstone coated
pots will work fine. Midwest offers 4 and 5 gallon
stainless steel brewing kettles for homebrewing.
Our high quality pots have riveted handles and
can be used for other things like boiling pasta or
crab legs. Our brew kettles are found on pages
41, 46 and 47. Including a shiny new stainless
steel brewing kettle will complement any gift
equipment package from Midwest.
Five gallons of beer will require 52-56 twelve
ounce beer bottles. Roughly two cases of 24 and a
six pack. Shipping glass bottles can get expensive
due to the shipping weight. Many homebrewers
will collect empty 12 ounce bottles as they drink
them, rinse them out and use them for their
homebrew. IMPORTANT: The bottles can not be
screw off bottles. They must be pop top bottles.
These are the bottles that are commonly found in
the 24 bottle returnable cases, the kind of bottles
that require a deposit when purchased. Buy one
or two cases of bottles when getting started with
Homebrewing. Bottles can be found on page 40.
Most homebrewers who accumulate 10 cases of
bottles typically will have purchased 5 new cases
and cleaned 5 used cases of pop top bottles.

 5 Gallon Recipe Kits
M
idwest Homebrewing Supplies offers a large selection of
5 gallon recipe kits. Our kits cover ale, lager, wheat
and specialty hybrid styles. All ales come with
a “top fermenting” yeast, while the lagers come with a
“bottom fermenting” yeast. The ales ferment best at a
temperature between 60°F and 70°F, while lagers should be
fermented between 45°F and 60°F. Lagers require a longer
period of bottle conditioning, typically 6 weeks. This is ideally
accomplished in a refrigerator, but a cool basement floor during
the winter months also works well. To determine if your basement
is cool enough simply place a glass of water on your basement
floor with a thermometer in it. If the thermometer reads between
45°F and 60°F, you’re ready to lager.
1.75 oz. Wyeast packs are pure strains of liquid beer yeast in self-
contained foil packs. They require activation 24-48 hours before
brewing. This is easily done by holding the yeast pack in your hand and
hitting it with your other hand. This activates the yeast culture inside the
pack. Within 24-48 hours your yeast is activated and ready to use. When
you’re ready to add the yeast, simply cut the yeast pack open and add to your
wort/beer. 1.75 oz. Propagator packs (000W) are available for an additional
$3.00. The ACTIVATOR packs have an average of 100 billion cells of pure
liquid yeast ready to pitch, plus nutrients. The ACTIVATOR provides the pitching
rate recommended by professionals. Includes easy to follow instructions. Wyeast ACTIVATOR 4.25 oz. XL Packs (000ACT) are available for an additional
$4.00. White Labs Yeast vials are ready to use right out of the refrigerator. No more waiting for incubation. White lab vials also contain 2 times as much yeast as
a small Wyeast pack. White Lab vials (000WL) are available for an additional $5.00. Brew your favorite recipe kits and compare these yeasts for yourself. All
homebrewing 5 gallon recipe kits from Midwest include: Briess malt extract (unless otherwise noted), specialty grains, imported and domestic hops, fresh yeast,
priming sugar, grain bag and complete, easy-to-follow instructions. They are designed to brew 5 gallon batches.

Scottish Export 80/-
The Export is the highest gravity allowed under the Scottish ale
designation (anything higher and it’s a Scotch ale) with the anti-
quated reference “/-” designated how many schillings a barrel
was taxed. The Export was an 80/- (schilling) beer. The Export
has a tawny brown color with a light biscuit flavor, low hop
profile and due to a lower fermenting temp, a creamy mouthfeel
with just a touch of peat. Ferments best at the low end of the
ale spectrum (60-65º) Our ingredients for this recipe include
6 lb. Gold malt extract, 1 lb. Amber DME, 4 oz. Biscuit, 8 oz.

The copper ale is a great middle of the road beer. It’s not dark, it’s

is reminiscent of the traditional copper brewing kettles.

§ Quick Tip Lager yeasts are bottom fermenting
yeasts that ferment at temperatures between
45-60 degrees. They require longer fermentation
time (3–5 weeks) and also take longer to
carbonate in the bottle. (6–10 weeks). The best
method of fermentation is using a refrigerator
and a thermostat controller. A cool basement
floor during winter months will also provide cool
temperatures for lagering. Unless you make a yeast
starter, we recommend starting the fermentation
process at ale temperatures (60 – 65ºF). After
the yeast starts fermenting put the fermenter in
cooler temperatures. If you don’t have a cool
fermentation area the German Ale yeast
1007 is noted for its lager like characteristics.

§ Quick Tip § Belgian Style beers benefit greatly
from a longer secondary fermentation. Many of
these beers improve with age in the bottle up to
5 years! Many of our customers have several
batches of Belgian style beers going at the same
time. Another carboy or Better Bottle allows you
to leave a batch sit for awhile, allowing it to age.
If you have the ability to cellar these brews at 60
degrees or below, your patience will be rewarded
with an incredibly smooth, high-gravity ale.

How does making beer from canned kits
compare with our kits?
While it is true that canned kits are capable of producing decent homebrewed
beer, generally speaking, they cannot compete with our kits or recipes that a
brewer would design for his/herself. There are several reasons for this. Canned
kits often come hopped which limits the control the brewer has on the end
result of their beer. They generally do not include specialty grains, which serve
to improve the complexity and depth of a beer’s character. As mentioned below,
many call for the addition of table or corn sugar to attain the proper alcohol
balance, but adding these sugars will “thin” the beer and contribute some off-
flavors. Our kits supply you with all wheat and barley malt except where other

American Ales
As many of you know in late 2007 and 2008
there was a worldwide hop shortage. Many
popular hop varieties were not available. During
this time microbreweries, brew pubs and the
homebrewing industry had no choice but to
start using “substitution” hops. Most notably,
hops like Ahtanum, Palisade, Sterling, and
Glacier became widely used hops. Now that
most varieties are available again, many brew-
ers are continuing to brew with these hops. We
feel these American hops deserve a spot in our
lineup of available varieties. Midwest is excited

Understanding Yeast
With all the time and effort
homebrewers put into their beer
recipes sometimes the importance
of yeast is overlooked. Yeast can
affect the taste of beer more than
malt, hops or specialty grains.
There are two forms of yeasts used
in homebrewing; dry yeast and
liquid yeast. Wyeast Laboratories
and White Labs offer liquid
yeasts that are cultured strains
of a specific yeast. These pure
strains produce consistent results
and are highly recommended for
many styles of beer. (Notably; Light Ales, Lagers,
Belgian Ales, Wheat, Steam and Specialty Beers)
These strains produce very specific flavors.
Fruity, Sweet, Dry, Crisp, Spicy, Nutty, and Tart
to name a few. Wyeast strains are available in
1.75 oz. and ACTIVATOR 4.25 oz. XL Smack
Packs. Making a yeast starter with the 1.75 oz.
packs is recommended for lagers and high gravity
Activator Pack before yeast has been activated
Picture of a Propogator White Lab Vials. This is the perfect solution for
before activation
beers. White Labs yeasts with 70-140 billion
yeast cells per vial are the equivalent of one pint
of yeast starter. Overall, liquid yeasts allow you
to duplicate recipes with consistent results. Dry
yeasts have improved in recent years. They are
reliable after months of storage and are very easy
to use. The disadvantage of using dry yeast is
inconsistent results. You can make the same recipe
twice with a dry yeast and have 2 different tasting
beers. They will taste good, but not necessarily
the same. Lager yeasts are bottom-fermenting
yeasts that ferment at temperatures between
45-60 degrees. The cool temperatures result
in a smooth, crisp, and clean tasting beer. They
require longer fermentation times (3-5 weeks) and
also take longer to carbonate in the bottle (6-10
weeks). The best method of lager fermentation
is using a refrigerator and Thermostat controller
(Page 37). Check your local classified ads for used
refrigerators. A cool basement during the winter
months will also provide cool temperatures for
lagering. When using lager yeast allow the beer to
start fermenting at ale temperatures (60º-65ºF).
After the yeast starts fermenting put the fermenter
in cooler temperatures. If you make a yeast starter,
it is okay to start the fermentation process at lager
temps (45º-60º). 2-Stage fermentation is highly
recommended. Ale yeasts are top fermenting
yeasts that ferment at temperatures between
60-70 degrees. The warmer temperatures result
in rich, full-bodied malty beers. They can fully
ferment in 8-14 days and carbonate in the bottle
in 3-5 weeks.

The importance of a Yeast Starter
Making a starter will shorten the lag time between
the time you are done boiling and the time the yeast
starts actively fermenting. This lag time is when
bacteria can grow and adversely affect the taste. By
pitching a large quantity of active yeast cells, these
cells can overwhelm any contaminants in your beer.
Making a yeast starter is highly recommended when
making a lager or a high gravity beer. See page 45 for
our Yeast Starter Kit.

(W1335) & (ACT1335)
yeast produces distinctly malty beers. Attenuation levels are
typically less than most other yeast strains making a slightly
sweeter finish. Ales produced with this strain tend to be fairly
fruity. Fruitiness increases with higher fermentation temperatures
(70-74° F). Diacetyl production is noticeable and a thorough rest
at 50-70° F is necessary. Yeast traps trub easily and autolysis is
possible. A very good cask conditioned ale strain due to thorough
flocculation characteristics. Beers become readily bright within
days. Brilliant beers easily achieved without any filtration. Alcohol
tolerance approximately 9% ABV. Flocculation - high; apparent

Servomyces: Servomyces is a
nutritional yeast supplement (GMO
free) that was originally developed for
German brewers by Weihenstephan
and the Munich University. It conforms
to the restrictions of Reinheitsgebot.
Servomyces enables any yeast strain’s
ability to incorporate essential nutrients
into its cellular structure. Tested in breweries around the
world, it has been proven to cut down fermentation time and
increases flocculation. Also greatly reduces harsh sulfur notes
and improves the health and viability of yeast. Servomyces
reduces levels of diacetyl at the end of primary fermentation
while producing faster, more complete attenuations.
Recent developments have made Servomyces available to
homebrewers and home winemakers. Each retail packet
contains 6 capsules, which can each be used for a 5-gallon (20
to 25L) batch of beer, wine, mead or cider. The instructions
are listed below: Add 1 capsule 10 minutes prior to the end of
the boil. OR, If your fermentation does not require a boil, open
the capsule and pour in the Servomyces, since the capsule
casing requires boiling to melt. Only one capsule is required
per 5-gallon (20 to 25 L) batch. Servomyces can be used in
all fermentations, including beer, wine, cider and mead. 6
capsules per package. (SVY6) (1/4 lb) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $9.95

80% attenuation will be reached even with 10% ABV beers.
Attenuation is 70-80%. Flocculation is high. Optimum
fermentation temperature is 65-70º F.
WLP099 - Super High Gravity Yeast: Flavors from
this yeast vary greatly with the beer produced. The higher the
gravity, the more winey the result. Beers over 16% ABV begin
to taste less like beer, and more like fortified wines. With low
gravity beers, this yeast produces a nice, subtle English ale-like
ester profile.As the gravity increases, some phenolic character
is evident, followed by the winey-ness of beers over 16% ABV.
Most fermentations will stop between 12-16% ABV unless these
high gravity tips are performed:
* Aerate very heavily, 4 times as much as with a normal gravity
beer. Less oxygen dissolves into solution at high gravity.
* Pitch 3-4 times as much yeast as normal.
* Consider aerating intermittently during the first 5 days
of fermentation. This will help yeast cells during a very
difficult fermentation. Aerate with oxygen for 30 seconds
or air for 5-10 minutes.
* Higher nutrient levels can allow yeast to tolerate higher
alcohol levels. Use 2 times the normal nutrient level. This is
especially important when using WLP099 to make wine and

lagers. Attenuation is 58-65%. Flocculation is high. Optimum
fermentation temperature is 58-65º F
WL820 - Oktoberfest/Märzen Lager: This yeast produces
a very malty, bock-like style. It does not finish as dry as WLP830.
This yeast is much slower in the first generation than WLP830,
so we encourage a larger starter to be used the first generation or
schedule a longer lagering time. Attenuation is 65-73%. Flocculation
is medium. Optimum fermentation temperature is 52-58º F.
WL830 - German Lager: This yeast is one of the most
widely used lager yeasts in the world. Very malty and clean,
great for all German lagers, pilsner, oktoberfest, and märzen.
Attenuation is 74-79%. Flocculation is medium. Optimum
fermentation temperature is 50-55º F.
WL833 - German Bock Lager: From the alps of southern
Bavaria, this yeast produces a beer that is well balanced
between malt and hop character. The excellent malt profile
makes it well suited for Bocks, Doppelbocks, and Oktoberfest
style beers. Very versatile lager yeast, it is so well balanced that
it has gained tremendous popularity for use in Classic American
style Pilsners. Also good for Helles style lager beer. Attenuation
is 70-76%. Flocculation is medium. Optimum fermentation
temperature is 48-55º F.
WL838 - Southern German Lager: This yeast is
characterized by a malty finish and balanced aroma. It is a
strong fermenter, produces slight sulfur, and low diacetyl.
Attenuation is 68-76%. Flocculation is medium–high. Optimum
fermentation temperature is 50-55º F.
WL840 - American Pisner Lager: This yeast is used to
produce American style lagers. Dry and clean with a very slight
apple fruitiness. Sulfur and diacetyl production is minimal.
Attenuation is 75-80%. Flocculation is medium. Optimum
fermentation temperature is 50-55º F.
 Yeast
What’s the difference between dry and liquid yeast?
The advantages of dried beer yeast are that it is simple to use, usually very active and foolproof. One can significantly improve the performance of
dried yeasts (and consequently the flavor of your beer) by properly rehydrating it. Do this by adding the dried yeast to a sanitized glass jar filled with
1-1.5 cups of 90-100 F tap water. Cover with clean foil and let rehydrate for 15-30 minutes, then bring the temperature of the rehydrated yeast close
to that of the wort and pitch. Even for the brewer that normally uses liquid yeast, it’s a good idea to keep a couple of packets af dry yeast around for
brewing emergencies. The main advantage of liquid yeast is the wide variety of strains available. Many of the liquid strains of yeast have been obtained
from breweries in brewing centers from around the world and therefore afford the home brewer the greatest possible chance to replicate the beers’
styles, which made these cities famous. Yeast is arguably the most important ingredient in beer and indeed, certain styles of beer cannot even be
approximated without the use of the correct yeast strain. The three types of yeast Midwest carries are the Wyeast Smack-Packs and Activator Packs,
and the White Labs Pitchable Tubes. The slap-packs have a smaller yeast culture in them and are best utilized in conjunction with a yeast starter. The
Activators, generally, have a large enough culture starting out that they can be pitched directly into 5 gallons of wort with a specific gravity up to 1.050
without the use of a yeast starter. All they require is removal from the refrigerator to a room temperature environment for 4-5 hours prior to their
use. Visit White Labs (www.whitelabs.com) and Wyeast Laboratories (www.wyeastlab.com) for more detailed information on liquid yeast strains.

§ Quick Tip Dry yeasts have come a long way in

recent years. While liquid yeasts are still generally better
than dry, the recent advances made in the production
of dry yeast have made it a much more viable option
than it used to be. One thing to keep in mind is that
dry yeast tends to be somewhat inconsistent. The
same dry yeast pitched in two batches of the same
beer may yield different results, while using a liquid
strain will be consistent nearly every time. You will
still get a full fermentation using dry yeast (sometimes
in as few as 1-2 days), just as you would using liquid,
so you may consider it as an economical alternative.

Pellet Hops are whole hops that are shredded and compressed at harvest. This protects against aging and oxidation, but also breaks the lupulin
glands for better hop utilization. Hop Plugs are whole flowers pressed into 1/2 oz. plugs. Similar to pellets, these plugs are sealed up immediately,
which seals the natural acids and oils. Plugs are generally used as aroma hops and for dry hopping. Dry hopping is adding 1-2 ounces of hops in
the secondary fermenter. (4-7 days) Whole Flower Hops are similar to plugs in their use. Hop Flowers are noted for their hop bouquet and are
often used in special recipes. All hops sold by Midwest come in oxygen-barrier and light-barrier bags. All hops are kept refrigerated until the
time they are shipped to guarantee maximum freshness. Hops are harvested cone-shaped flowers of hop vines. These cones contain lupulin
glands, which are responsible for bitterness and aroma qualities. Bittering hops usually have a high alpha acid. The bitterness qualities that hops
add are from the alpha acids in the lupulins. When boiled, a reaction occurs that creates bitterness and adds a natural preservative to the beer.
First noted when India Pale Ale was sent from England to their troops in India. These ales were strongly bittered so they would remain fresh
when they arrived by ship. Aroma hops are noted for their lower alpha acid contents and their fragrance. When added towards the end of the
boiling process, these hops produce different levels of hoppy, piney, woody and fruity aromas. Midwest offers hops in Pellets, Plugs or Flowers.

§ Quick Tip § Dry hopping can be easily

done, and will really add to the hop aroma
of your brew. When you are ready to

a few marbles (don’t use “steelies” or
ball bearings in a glass carboy) and boil
them in water for ten minutes. Place your

hops and the marbles in a muslin bag.
Tie the bag off, pushing the hops and
marbles to the bottom of the bag. Drop
the bag into the carboy after you have
transferred your beer. The marbles will
cause the bag to sink to the bottom,
where they will have the most impact.

Dried Malt Extract (DME)
An extra bag of dried malt extract can come in very handy for a homebrewer. If
you want to strengthen a particular batch of beer, throw in an extra pound of
malt extract. DME can be used instead of corn sugar when bottling your beer.
Use 1 to 1 1/2 cups per five gallons. Some brewers feel it creates a fine bead
carbonation instead of the larger bubbles created by corn sugar. DME is also used
in the preferred method of creating a yeast starter.

American 2-Row (Rahr): 2-Row domestic blend of North American grown
Grains
Harrington and Metcalfe barley varieties.
American 2-Row (Briess): Probably the most commonly used base malt in all-
grain or partial-mash brewing. Yields a slightly higher extraction rate than 6-Row.
2-Row is well modified, smooth, and high in enzymes. A single step infusion
mash will easily convert 2-Row, but a protein rest is recommended to improve
clarity.
Pesticide Free 2-Row: Use as you would regular 2-Row. Organically grown barley malt.
American 6-Row (Rahr): The preferred base malt for adjunct based beers such as
American Lagers, high gravity lagers and American Wheat beer. Clean in flavor and high
in enzymes. This malt is best used when brewing with high quantities of adjuncts, such
as oats, corn or rice. Useful during the lautering process for wheat beers since its husk
content is high. Since it is high in protein, its use can result in increased break and haze.
Requires a protein rest.
Halcyon Pale Ale Malt: A floor-malted barley malt from a single barley variety
(Halcyon), and produced by a centuries-old, family-owned maltster. Halcyon Pale
Ale Malt is considered to be one of the last remaining “traditional” English Pale
Malts. Adds a degree of biscuit flavor to the beer. Brighter and lighter in flavor
than Pearl, Halcyon is a great malt for the production of Real Ales. All the base
malts from Thomas Fawcett & Sons are grown by local, family farmers near the
maltings area.
Kolsch Malt (Global Malt): This malt is produced at the only maltster in the Koln
area and can be used in brewing a Kolsch-style beer. Kolsch malt has a light,
sweet and extremely “German” flavor and aroma with a little bit of biscuit
character. Use with a single infusion or multi-rest mash. Usage: up to 100%.
Optic Malt: A floor-malted barley malt from a single barley variety (Optic), and
produced by a centuries-old, family-owned maltster. Optic is another malt
considered to be one of the last of the “traditional” English Pale malt varieties
still produced in the UK. Adds a degree of biscuit flavor. Brighter and lighter in
flavor than Pearl, a great malt for the production of Real Ales.
Pearl: A floor-malted malt from a single barley variety produced by a centuries
old family-owned maltster.  Fawcett’s primary barley variety used by several of
England’s largest and most respected breweries, and as a base malt, lends a dry
breadiness to beer. Recommended for traditional Pale Ales.   in Scottish ales and lagers. Great brew-house yield and flavor.
All-Grain Brewing
Many of our customers ask us why they should think about switching to all-grain
brewing. There are advantages and disadvantages, but most brewers agree that you
have much more control over the finished product by brewing all-grain.
More Complex Flavor Profiles: Since you now can use any malted grain, you are not
bound by the limits of using malt extract. Malt extract only comes in a few different
flavors, but when brewing all-grain, you can create any flavor profile you’d like. You
also have much more control over color, body, and head retention.
Freshest Possible Beer: You just cannot get any fresher than milling your own grain
and immediately putting it into the mash. You will notice right away that your beer has
a much fresher flavor, and you can be proud knowing that you created it from scratch!
Infinite Possibilities: With extract brewing, you are limited in the styles that you can
accurately duplicate. When brewing all-grain, your flavor palate now contains many
different grains, each one with its own distinct flavor and coloring characteristics.
There are almost an infinite amount of grains combinations that will all yield
different flavors, and when you throw in more variables such as hops, water profiles,
fermentation temperatures and yeasts, the possibilities are infinite.
There are a few disadvantages that you should know about before you begin all-
grain brewing, but most brewers that have made the switch feel that the benefits far
outweigh these factors.
More Equipment: You will need some additional equipment to brew all-grain, and it
does represent a somewhat significant investment. Midwest has put together some
all-grain equipment kits that will make the process simple (see page 46). You may also
need a larger boiling kettle since you will be boiling the entire five gallons. The good
news is that most of this equipment will last you a lifetime.
More Time: All-grain brewing does take significantly more time. Whereas the
average extract batch takes a brewer two to three hours, an all-grain batch could
take six to eight hours or more. Because of this, many brewers will do ten gallon (or
larger!) batches, since it takes basically the same amount of time.
More Difficult to Brew Indoors: Most all-grain brewers utilize something like the
King Kooker (see page 48), which is a large propane burner that allows you to bring
a large volume of liquid quickly to a boil. Since you are boiling the entire five gallons,
this may take significantly longer using your kitchen stove. These propane burners
cannot be used indoors.
Pilsner (Rahr): Grown in Montana’s famed “Golden Triangle” on irrigated farm
land. Rich and plump with extract while remaining low in total protein.
Pilsner (Weyermann): This German pilsner malt offers extraordinary flavor while
maintaining a low color profile. Widely used as a base malt in German lagers.
Bohemian Pilsner (Weyermann): A region specific Pilsner malt similar to the famed
Moravian Pilsner malt. Well suited for a base to any beer, but especially suited to
the Bohemian style pilsner.
Pilsner (Global Malt): To be used exclusively for pale beers (Pilsner, Lager) or as an
additive in variable quantites for almost all other types of beer.
Pilsen (Castle): This pilsner malt is produced from the finest
European two-row. This malt is well modified and can easily
be mashed at a single temperature.
Pale Ale (Briess): This malt is a less expensive alternative to British or Belgian pale
ale malt. Slightly darker version of the Briess 2-row, comparable performance
suited for any ale.
Pale Ale (Crisp): A premium ale malt of the best malt variety grown from each
crop year (recently Fanfare and Optic). This malt offers superior milling, run-off
and extract (typically greater than domestic base malts). Malted in Great Ryburgh
using modern techniques to give consistent high quality malt.
Pale Ale (Castle): Suited for ale production of all types, also fully modified.
Pale Ale (Weyermann): A darker malt with the malt flavor of Germany.
Maris Otter (Crisp): This variety has long been a favorite of English brewers for
its rich flavor and very forgiving brewing performance. Since this malt is fully
modified, a protein rest is not necessary. This is a very popular base malt used in
pale ales, bitters, porters, IPAs, stouts, barleywines and Scottish ales. Excellent
yields and efficient runoff make it the malt of choice for producing English style
beers.
Golden Promise (Simpson’s): The Scottish equivalent to Maris Otter. Brewers
north of the English border claim that its sweet, clean flavor is much superior
to Maris Otter. Golden Promise is also used extensively by premium whisky
distilleries such as the Macallan. Golden Promise is very versatile, and may be
used in many ales and lagers as it produces a mellow wort. An integral ingredient
Basic All-Grain Brewing Instructions
Brewing all-grain is much easier than most people think. It basically involves
two additional steps: Mashing and Sparging. After these two steps are
completed, the boiling process is exactly the same as when extract brewing.
Mashing: When starches are converted to sugars.
The simplest way to mash is by the single-infusion method. Mashing starts
with bringing your brewing liquor (water) to a temperature that will activate
enzymes within the grain when it is added. This temperature will typically
be in the 156º to 168º range. When the grain is added to the brewing liquor,
the temperature will drop 8 to ten degrees, bringing the mash temperature
down to 148 to 158 degrees. This is the temperature that a saccharification
rest should occur at. This is when the sugars are extracted from the
grains. Depending on the recipe, this oatmeal-like mixture will sit at this
temperature for thirty to sixty minutes.
Sparging: When the sweet wort is rinsed from the crushed grains.
This is accomplished by sprinkling 170º water over the mash and allowing
it to seep through. This dissolves the sugar into solution, and it is then
carried to the bottom of the mash tun, where it exits through the outlet
valve and into your boiling kettle. The easiest way to do this is with a
sparge arm. A sparge arm allows you to sprinkle the hot liquor evenly and
constantly over the mash, which will yield higher extraction rates than
sparging without a sparge arm.
Boiling: Simply brew as you did before.
When brewing all-grain, you will collect and boil 6 to 7 gallons of wort
Grains
for a five gallon batch. As mentioned earlier, you may need to purchase a
larger boiling kettle to do this. Other than this, the process is exactly the
same as brewing an extract batch. Add your bittering hops, boil for an
hour, and make any other additions as called for in your recipe. Cool the
wort and pitch the yeast.

§ Quick Tip § Corn sugar and table sugar (sucrose) are
cheap fermentable sugars that produce alcohol without
rendering the cloying residual sweetness of malt extract.
Their use in quantities of 30-40% will produce a beer with
a considerably lighter body than one brewed strictly with
malt sugars. Any canned kits, and the body of the beer they
produce, can be improved upon greatly by substituting
the corn sugar with malt extract, either dried or liquid.

Carboy Drainer: (Above left) Sturdy plastic construction. Holds
an inverted carboy (any size) so that it can drip dry, inside and

on them, up to three high. (C6041) (2 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $6.50
 ermentap: (Above center) By inverting the glass carboy and
F
installing the Fermentap valve, the procedures of sampling,
yeast harvesting and racking done in commercial breweries can
be copied by the homebrewer. The neck of the carboy naturally
concentrates sediment at the lowest point, which facilitates
separation and minimizes waste. You use gravity to transfer the
beer to your bottling bucket or keg, and you can leave all of the
sediment behind in the carboy. (8186) (3 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . $24.95
Tripod Carboy Drainer: (Above right) Drain your carboy with
this very handy drainer rack. Allows you to drain, and then dry,
your carboy long before you need it. Bacteria falls down, not up,
so as long as the carboy is in an inverted position it should remain
sanitary. High drainage point allows for easy draining into sink.
Made from a combination of metal and plastic with a wide footed
base to accommodate 3, 5, 6, and 6.5 gallon carboys.

 Immersion Wort Chillers
Why is a Wort Chiller
so important?
It is very important to cool your wort to below 80
degrees as quickly as possible after the boil. This is
the time that the wort is most susceptible to bacterial
contamination. A wort chiller nearly negates any chance
of infection. A wort chiller also helps to produce clearer
beer, since it helps to facilitate cold break. Cold break is
composed of protein and tannin complexes that become
insoluble as the temperature of your wort drops. Good
cold break means clearer beer. A wort chiller is probably
the most time-saving, economical device a homebrewer
can buy. It’s the one thing that we tell everybody buying
About Immersion Wort Chillers
As the name implies, the immersion-type chiller is
submerged into the wort. You then attach the chiller to
either a garden hose or your kitchen faucet (requires the
faucet adapter, sold separately). Once attached, you run
cold water through the wort chiller and your wort will
be at pitching temperature within about fifteen minutes.
Advantages to Immersion Chillers: No need to
sanitize! Since you are submerging the chiller in
boiling wort, any bacteria present will be killed
instantly. When you are finished, be sure to rinse well
with hot water.
Easy to use! An immersion chiller is highly recommended

should not be without. There are two basic types of wort
chillers, immersion and counterflow.
for novice to intermediate brewers. No special
connections are required, with the exception of the faucet
adapter if you are attaching it to your kitchen sink.
The only real disadvantages to using immersion wort
chillers are the cooling time and the amount of water
used as compared to counterflow chillers. Still, a quality
immersion chiller only takes about fifteen minutes to be
effective, and it uses a lot less water than an ice bath.

Stainless Steel Immersion Wort Chiller:

Midwest now carries a stainless steel wort
chiller! The stainless version works just like a
copper immersion wort chiller and cools 94% as
efficiently. We at Midwest believe the benefits of
stainless steel’s long-term durability and ease of
cleaning and sanitizing more than compensate
for any loss in cooling efficiency. This piece of
equipment will be looking as nice as the rest of
your stainless brewing gear for years to come.

 Counterflow Wort Chillers
About Counterflow Wort Chillers
The counterflow type has a smaller diameter copper
tubing that is inside larger tubing. Wort flows from
the kettle through the smaller tube, while cold
water flows through the larger tube in the opposite
direction. This results in a much shorter cooling
time, and you also use less water than the immersion
types. Counterflow wort chillers also require a kettle
with a ball valve, and lines for entry and exit. The Therminator: The Therminator is the fastest way to

§ Quick Tip: Getting a good crush is important for
getting the best mash efficiency and extraction rate.
If crushed grain is too finely ground, it will turn into
porridge. If the grains aren’t crushed enough it will result
in a poor conversion rate. A good crush has a range
of particle sizes that create a compromise between
extraction and lautering. From years of experience,
we highly recommend the Schmidling Malt Mills.

along the entire length of the rollers. The gap default setting is
marked and set at .039 at assembly. Adjustment range is from
.015 to .070 thousands of an inch. The rollers have a 12 TPI knurl
to efficiently pull the grain through the rollers while leaving the
hull intact to form an excellent filter bed for sparging. Comes with
a solid base with locators to center the Barley Crusher on a 5
gallon plastic pail. The standard hopper holds an even 7 pounds
and the optional large hopper holds 15 pounds. Using a 3/8 drill-
motor at 500 RPM gives you a crush rate of 6 pounds a minute
making the big grain bills fast and easy. The Barley Crusher is
shipped fully assembled. There are no adapters needed to use a
3/8 drill motor.

Oxygen Injection System: Typically, you infuse oxygen by
splashing the wort as you are transferring to your fermentation
vessel, or by shaking the fermenter. This method is somewhat
effective, but it is possible that the oxygen infused will be
contaminated to an extent. Midwest’s Oxygen Injection System
pumps 99.9% pure oxygen into the cooled wort through a
stainless steel diffusion stone. The stone has thousands of
tiny holes that diffuse the oxygen pumped in from the tank.
This system includes a disposable oxygen tank, a stainless
steel diffusion stone, a regulator and enough tubing to reach
to the bottom of your fermenter. PLEASE NOTE: Federal Law
requires that oxygen cylinders be shipped empty. Full oxygen
cylinders are available locally at most hardware stores.

filter, tubing and stainless steel 2 micron diffusion stone. This
system will never run out of oxygen. The down side is you need
to let the system run for 30- 120 minutes. Contamination is not
an issue, but make sure to check on the progress as it can create
a lot of foam. (6698) (5 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $37.95
Midwest Yeast Starter Kit: Making a starter will shorten the lag
time between the time you are done boiling and the time the
yeast starts actively fermenting. This lag time is when bacteria can
grow and adversely affect the taste. By pitching a large quantity
of active yeast cells, these cells can overwhelm any contaminants
in your beer. Making a yeast starter is highly recommended when
making a lager or a high gravity beer. Making a yeast starter is
easy. First, activate your Wyeast liquid yeast pack and wait
until it is ready. (1-2 inches thick) Next, add 1/2 cup of dried
malt extract and 16 ounces (650 ml) of water to the 1000 ml
Erlenmeyer Flask. Dissolve the dried malt extract and slowly
bring it to a boil. Cover lid with tin foil and cool. Add Wyeast
and attach stopper and airlock. Shake the flask and wait 12-
24 hours. Brew and add the yeast starter to the cooled wort.
Detailed instructions come with each yeast starter kit.

Servomyces: Servomyces is a nutritional
yeast supplement (GMO free) that was
originally developed for German brewers
by Weihenstephan and the Munich
University. It conforms to the restrictions
of Reinheitsgebot. Servomyces enables
any yeast strain’s ability to incorporate
essential nutrients into its cellular
structure. Tested in breweries around the world, it has
been proven to cut down fermentation time and increases
flocculation. Also greatly reduces harsh sulfur notes and
improves the health and viability of yeast. Servomyces
reduces levels of diacetyl at the end of primary fermentation
while producing faster, more complete attenuations. Recent
developments have made Servomyces available to homebrewers
which can each be used for a 5-gallon (20 to 25L) batch of
beer, wine, mead or cider. The instructions are listed below: Add
1 capsule 10 minutes prior to the end of the boil. OR, If your
fermentation does not require a boil, open the capsule and pour
in the Servomyces, since the capsule casing requires boiling
to melt. Only one capsule is required per 5-gallon (20 to 25 L)
batch. Servomyces can be used in all fermentations, including
beer, wine, cider and mead. 6 capsules per package.

at the required temperatures. These setups include everything you need to upgrade to all-grain
brewing, assuming that you already have all of the equipment needed for extract brewing. Also,
keep in mind that you will be boiling enough wort for a 5 or 10 gallon batch, so be sure that your
brew kettle is big enough. We’d recommend a kettle of at least 7 gallon capacity for a 5 gallon
batch. For a 10 gallon batch, we’d recommend at least a 14 gallon kettle. We our Quality Brew
Kettles section for a variety of boil kettles. These kits include 1 cooler fitted with a brass ball valve
and 1/2” barb connected to a stainless steel false bottom (the mash and lauter tun), 1 cooler fitted
with another brass valve and barb (the hot liqour tank for storing hot water), a stainless steel
sparge arm (Note: the 5 Gallon Cooler Kit comes with the plastic sparger, #Q1055), and high
temperature braided tubing to connect it all. The 5 Gallon Capacity kit is great for 10-14 lbs. of
grain or a 1.040-1.060 5-gallon batch. The 7 Gallon Capacity kit is works well for average to high-

 Advanced Brewing Equipment
The Fermenator Stainless Steel Conical Fermenters
7 Gallon Fermenator 14 Gallon Fermenator 27 Gallon Fermenator
The Fermenator is a beautifully designed product for the
discriminating brewer. Its features provide commercial brewery
functionality at a consumer-friendly price. It’s easy to use and
loaded with standard features. The standard 7 gal., 14.5 gal.,
and 27 gal. sizes are perfect for 5, 10 and 20 gal. batches.
Others sizes and custom features are available by special order.
Stainless steel is extremely durable and the easiest material to
sanitize. It is impervious to heat, won’t shatter like glass, and
won’t scratch, discolor and harbor bacteria like plastic.
The conical “uni-tank” offers many advantages to carboys:
• Dumping cold break & trub takes a couple minutes
• Collecting wort samples is quick and completely sanitary
• Can easily harvest yeast
• Pressurizeable for CO2 pumping
• Impervious to UV light that causes “skunking” in beer.
All-Grain Equipment
• Large open top makes scouring and sanitizing the
interior a snap
• The rotating racking arm allows siphoning completely
sediment free beer
Weld-free Interior: No stress about bacteria hiding in weld cracks
or porosity found in all welds, even so-called sanitary welds.
The surfaces of the Fermenator where the fittings penetrate are
smooth (no weld “ripples”) so it is a snap to clean and sanitize.
Guaranteed 100% Leak Free!!! Stainless o-ring retainers hold
o-rings firmly in place, eliminating any chance of rolling or leaking.
Easy to clean weld-free fittings: All fittings used for the bottom
dump and rotating racking arm are stainless steel high quality
industrial fittings, not makeshift hardware store parts and pipe
fittings. And unlike welded fittings, ours can be removed for
easy sanitizing. And our competitor’s welded-in fittings can’t be
replaced if they get accidentally damaged or wear out!
Last, but not least, the weld-free fittings allow you to orient
the dump valve in any position you want, not where it happens
to end up when tightening a welded fitting....such as facing the
rear of the refrigerator!
Rotating Racking Arm: That’s right! The rotating racking arm is
standard equipment!! Just like the Craft Brewers’ huge conical
fermenters. This feature allows you to start your siphon with the
racking arm horizontal, and rotate it slowly downward until you
just start picking up yeast sediment. Clearly the best and only
way to siphon clear beer!
Lid hatch: Easy sanitary access to your fermenting beer.
Minimizes exposure of the fermentables to oxidation and
bacterial contamination when dry-hopping or adding finings as
opposed to removing the lid entirely.
Pressure Capable
Stainless Lid: Just like the
big breweries, use CO2
pressure to pump your
finished beer up to 6 feet
above your fermenter to
your kegs. Eliminates the
need for elevating the
fermenter above the kegs or bottling bucket. Ideal for chest
freezers. Not intended for carbonation.

refrigerator. For low clearance installations, use 90º elbow (provided)
on stopper and remote locate the airlock. For upright freezers and
refrigerators it is recommended that you have 4-6” of clearance above
the unit if you wish to dry hop or add finings through the lid hatch.
 ermenators with Tri-Clamp Fittings: By
F
popular request, Blichmann Engineering has
developed sanitary tri-clamp fittings (like
the pros!) as an option for the full line of
Fermenator conicals. These fittings have no
cracks or crevices to harbor wild yeast or
bacteria, making them a cinch to sanitize. This
completely weldless design includes a
1” bottom dump assembly complete with elbow, valve, barb fitting,
cover plate, and all clamps and gaskets. The racking arm is a 1/2”
tri-clamp design, and also includes the barb fitting, cover and
all clamps and gaskets. Please allow 1-3 weeks for delivery, as
Fermenators ship directly from the manufacturer via FedEx Ground.

3 gallon mini draft system
T his system works by adding 3
oz. of corn sugar and waiting for
the beer to naturally carbonate in
the keg. After 2 weeks, the beer is
dispensed using a compact CO2
Injector. This injector typically
uses one 16 gram CO2 cartridge to dispense the beer. CO2
is for dispensing only and will not force carbonate the beer
in any way. 4 feet of low-foam liquid line and a standard
picnic tap will pour glass after glass of your favorite
homebrew. You’ll be everyone’s best friend when you show
up at a party with 3 gallons of homebrew ready to serve.

4.75 gallons of beer. The dispensing tapping unit holds
two eight-gram CO2 cartridges and features a preset
regulator that dispenses the CO2 from the cartridges into
the bottle at a steady rate. The bottles can be tapped for
up to 6-8 weeks. These bottles are primed using 3 ounces
of priming sugar per 5 gallons. After aging (3-4 weeks)
remove cap, tap, and dispense. Two eight-gram CO2
cartridges will dispense the entire 6 liters. Tap-A-Draft
bottles are reusable for at least 6 batches. This includes
the Tap, drip tray, 10 eight-gram CO2 cartridges, and
three 6-liter bottles. Everything you need to bottle and
dispense 4.75 gallons of beer. Tap-A-Draft can also be

 Kegging Equipment
All of our kegging supplies have a one-year guarantee. All fittings below are 1/4 inch fittings, unless noted. They are either barbed fittings, which
require a tubing clamp for gas lines, or threaded fittings that screw onto each other. Our kegging systems are inexpensive and easy to use. Instead
of bottling, just transfer your beer into the 5 gallon ball lock keg. Pressurize the keg with CO2, wait 2-4 days, and your beer will be carbonated. No
more waiting 3-4 weeks to drink your homebrew. This also eliminates washing and storing bottles. Basic systems include a 5 gallon reconditioned
ball lock keg, dual gauge regulator, 5 lb. CO2 tank (empty), gas and liquid tubing, gas and liquid quick disconnects, plastic tapper, and instructions.

Kegging: Why Everyone’s Doing It
Why keg your beer? The first and simplest answer to that is because it is easier. There is only 1 container to clean vs. 50+ bottles, a real time
saver that frees you up to make more beer. The second answer is control over your beer. Kegging allows you absolute control over the level of
carbonation in your beer without relying on natural fermentation, leaving a cleaner and more consistent beer for you to drink. Third reason is
flexibility. Having a keg system affords you the option of filtering your beer for a professional finish. The fourth reason is that you can put beer
on tap faster. Force carbonating only takes 2-4 days and if you filter your beer it will present a drinkable product much faster. Some styles still

easy, and because the faucet stays full of beer at all times, it
never gets sticky as the mechanism never has a chance to dry
out and/or get contaminated. A soft control is included - just

 Kegging Equipment
Beer Filtering System and Accessories
Midwest Beer Clarity Filter System: The Midwest filter system
has been reconfigured to make filtration easier and less
expensive. In order to filter beer or wine you will need to
have a ball lock keg system with a minimum of 2 kegs. Un-
carbonated product from one tank is pushed with CO2 through
the filter into the sanitized empty tank. In order to polish
your beer and remove yeast you will need to do this in a two
stage process, which means with 2 kegs you will have to clean
and sanitize the originating keg before sending the beer back
through the fine filter.
The first filter you will use is a 5 micron sized filter to remove
large particulate (hops and proteins) that if left for the fine
filters would clog them before you finish. Once your beer
passes through the 5 micron filter then it is up to you how fine
you want your product filtered. The fine filters consist of a 1
micron and a .65 micron filter. The 1 micron filter should filter
out 80-90% of the yeast in solution while the 0.65 - 0.5 sterile
filter will filter out 100% of the yeast.
Absolute vs. Nominal filters
Nominal filters refer to the fact that the micron size is loosely
rated, so it is at or around the listed size. These are lower cost
filters that will work just fine, they are just not as precise as the
absolute filters. Absolute filters give you absolute control over
the level of filtration your beers go through, they are rated and
precise to the degree they are listed, and therefore they are more
expensive. For everyday brewing, nominal disposable filters will
do the trick. But if you are competitive and looking for a winning
edge, a professional precise filtration is what you will want.
These filters are constructed of FDA approved polypropylene
spun fiber. The mid-grade and pro-grade filters can be sanitized
with bleach at a 0.5% concentration for 15-30 minutes then
rinsed thoroughly, provided they are cleaned properly with a
back flush with water after each use. The pro-grade filters are
auto-clavable for repeated use or in home use, 10-30 minutes in
a pressure cooker will sanitize. The manufacturer recommends
10 hours of total sanitizing in the filter’s lifetime, so with proper
use, cleaning and storage, the pro-grade filters will be your
better investment.

The Benefits of Larger Batches
Since it really doesn’t take any more time to brew
ten gallons than it does to brew five, many brewers
are brewing larger batches.
It’s really just a matter of the right equipment in
three areas: heat, kettle size, and fermenter space.
Brewing larger batches usually requires more heat
than your kitchen stove can provide. Take a look
Kegging Equipment
at the high output burners, listed above, to solve
this problem.
Of course, you will need a larger kettle, whether
brewing extract or all-grain. Take a look at our larger
kettles, listed on page 46.
You can solve the fermenter space issue a couple
of ways. Check out the new Fermenator Stainless
Conical fermenters on page 50. Or, for a more
economical solution, simply purchase an extra
fermenting bucket or two. Divide your wort equally
between fermenters, then top each off to 5 gallons.

Chemicals and Cleaning
 and Pump Line Cleaner: Keeping those beer lines
H
clean is very important. This pump makes this an easy
task. To use, simply fill the reservoir with a cleaning
solution (such as BLC or ALC). Remove the faucet,
disconnect the tap, and attach the cleaning
solution through the lines. Recommended cleaning is every
2-4 weeks. For best results clean every 3 times with a caustic
cleaner (Penetrate or BLC) and the 4th time with an acid line
cleaner. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with water.

This is a great all-purpose cleaner that may also be used

dissolves in warm or cold water. Use a dilution of 2

A*L*C (Acid Line Cleaner): A special acid cleaner for
draught beer systems to primarily remove the natural
calcium oxalate build-up that occurs with some
domestic, imported and specialty beers. Helps remove
any other natural residues that are resistant to the
action of alkaline cleaners. Properly cleaning draught systems
on a regular basis helps control the natural build-up of calcium
oxalate. If the system is not cleaned properly, especially if the
brand of beer is brewed with ingredients that tend to develop
higher levels of the oxalate ingredient, a “whitish crystalline”
deposit can accumulate in the system. A two-step procedure
is outlined on the bottle for cleaning calcium oxalate build-up
from a draught beer system.

Cleaning and Sanitizing:
Keeping your keg and beer line clean is key to a good-
tasting beer time and time again. We use a caustic
cleanser to help remove the syrup and soda flavors
from the keg, and it needs to be thoroughly cleaned
and rinsed with hot water before sanitizing. The caus-
tic cleaner has a slightly sweet and soda-like odor, so
be sure to rinse thoroughly.
• To sanitize, prepare a gallon or two of your favorite
sanitizer and add to the keg. DO NOT USE BLEACH

First, lift the pressure relief valve in the center of the

Wine Recipe Kits

On the following pages, you will find our newly expanded line of wine kits. Some exciting additions include gummed labels which are preprinted with
the specific wine kit you are making. These are conveniently listed after their respective wine kit. You will also notice that we have added over twenty
new wine kits for you to choose from. We have expanded our inventory to include all of the highest quality wine kits available, including many styles
that were previously unavailable to the home vintner. Be sure to check out the new Crushendo™ grape pack, now available in some of the Selection
Estate Kits, on pages 64 and 65. You will find that the Crushendo™ will add more flavor and body intensity than ever before. Thanks to a new
generation of wine kits, home winemakers can easily produce exceptional, high quality wines with minimal time, effort and expertise. These wine
kits have already been analyzed by a professional winemaker for acid content, pH and sugar. With wine increasingly becoming an everyday drink, a
development spurred in part by recent studies reporting health benefits associated with moderate alcohol consumption, now is a great time to start
making your own wine. By law, each two-person household can make approximately 1000 bottles every year. With a one-time investment of $74 in
equipment, plus one wine kit, you can start making wines for $1.75 to $3.00 per bottle. With the quality kits offered by Midwest, you can easily make
wines that rival the quality of commercial varieties costing three to four times as much. Once you start making wine from wine kits, it won’t be long
before you’ll want to start making wine from grapes, plums, cherries, rhubarb, and whatever happens to be growing in your yard. Initial success in
winemaking with wine kits is a simple matter of attention to cleanliness, following basic directions, and letting nature take its course.

These kits have been designed to be used in addition to the equipment included with the 6
Gallon Starter Winemaking Equipment kit. The 6 Gallon Starter Winemaking Equipment kit
by itself is designed to make wine from juice and concentrate kits. *It is necessary to purchase
additional equipment and additives to make 3 or 5 gallons of wine from fruit. When making
wine from fruit it is highly recommended to minimize the amount of airspace or “head-space”
in the neck of the fermenter. In other words, when making 3 or 5 gallons of fruit wine, you
want to have enough wine so there is only a few inches of space in the neck of the glass car-

§ Quick Tip: Wine makers can avoid oxidation
of wine by doing two things. Always rinse and
leave residual sulphite solution in fermentors
each time the wine is transferred. For prolonged
storage (2 weeks +) in carboys always top off the
wine to minimize the amount of head space in
the carboy. Use a similar style of wine or boiled
and cooled water if you are in a bind. Many
winemakers have started using Private Preserve.
(page 80) This canister of inert gases will purge the
oxygen out of the carboy and fend off oxidation.
Potassium metabisulfite: A widely used winemaking agent.
Effectively kills wild yeast and bacteria. Use a solution of 1/4
teaspoon per 5 gallons, which yields 50 ppm. This agent helps
to clear the way for your yeast, better allowing it to do its job.
Sulphites also aid in inhibiting enzymatic browning in white wines,
and improves the flavor when used correctly. Metabisulfite does
lose potency over time, so you should replace your supply at least
annually. Old metabisulfite can be used for sanitizing purposes.

Wine Clarifiers
Wine Yeast/Additives
Wine clarifiers help wine clear in a timely manner. These clarifiers
can cut the clearing process down to weeks rather than months.
Pectic Enzyme: Pectic enzyme breaks down the pectins in fruit,
making crushing or pressing more efficient. This also reduces
pectin’s hazing effect. May also be added to red grape must to
help extract tannin from the fruit skins. Do not add this enzyme

Acid Adjustment
The acid content of wine can be judged by tasting your wine or
using an acid testing kit. If your wine is lacking a proper amount
of acid, it will have a flat or dull taste. If there is too much acid
your wine will have a sour or tart flavor on your tongue. The
proper amount of acid will also help wine keep well over time.
Acid Blend: This blend contains 50% Malic
Acid, 40% Citric Acid, and 10% Tartaric Acid.
Use in fruit wines to adjust acid levels. Most
commonly used in canned concentrate recipes.

§ Quick Tip: Start using an acid test kit (pg. 71)
Adjusting acidity can help avoid sour or bitter
characteristics. While raising acid levels is easy,
lowering it can be difficult. Go slow and make
sure you don’t overdo it. Mastering the art of acid
adjustment will result in more consistent results.
Malic Acid: This acid lowers pH a bit less than Tartaric acid, and is
less sour. Excellent for making acid adjustments in Gewurztraminer,
Muscat, and Riesling wines when Tartaric acid is not appropriate.
You do not want to add malic acid to any wine that will undergo a
malo-lactic fermentation, as roughly half of the added malic acid
will not convert to lactic acid during a malo-lactic fermentation.

Laffort Enological Tannins: These tannins offer the winemaker
the possibility to add refined, highly-bindable tannin to your wine
at any stage during the process. Benefits can include increased
structure and mouthfeel, color stabilization, stability, anti-
oxidative qualities, and overall complexity. Tannins can also reduce
vegetal/herbaceous characteristics and perceived astringency.
Tanin VR Supra: Tannin VR Supra is composed of both
grape and wood tannins specifically formulated for use
during red wine fermentation. These highly reactive tannins
bind with anthocyanins in the first 3-4 days of fermentation.
The continual bonding going on throughout the ferment will
also improve the mid palate structure and help significantly
reduce or eliminate vegetal/herbaceous characters. Tannin
additions at this early stage prove to be most efficient and
are better integrated into the wine. Use at an initial rate of 1.3
gram per gallon during punch down/pump over. If you want
additional tannin add at the later rate of .25 grams per gallon.

Tanin Galalcool: Tannin Galalcool was specifically developed
for addition to white wines because it is colorless. It is an anti-
oxidant and helps protect against oxidation and browning. From
a sensory view it contributes to a soft, full mouthfeel and will
impart a very slight perception of sweetness without contributing
any sugars. This tannin may be used in red wines when very
subtle changes are desired. Use 0.20 to 1.15 grams per gallon
during a pumpover to obtain good homogenization. Packages
are sized for 6 gallon carboys at a rate of 1 gram per gallon.

Tan’Cor: Tan’Cor was developed for addition to red wine
post-fermentation to improve overall structure and to help
protect the wine from oxidation during aging. It is composed
of proanthocyanidins and ellagic (oak duramen) tannins that
integrate easily into young wine. Tan’Cor seems to balance well
with full, fruity wines like Syrah and Zinfandel. It also is useful
in intense, up-front fruity Cabernet Sauvignon and any wine
that noticeably lacks smooth tannin structure. Use at the rate
of .3 to 1 grams per gallon prior to aging. We sell it a dosage
rate of .5g per gallon for 6 gallon carboys and 60 gallon barrels

Tanin Plus: Tanin Plus is a soluble wood tannin extracted
from toasted American oak. It will impart a slight vanillin
oak character and a smooth finish. Dissolve the tannin in 10
times its weight in warm water (95°F) and then add to the
wine during a punch-down or when racking for good mixing.
Addition of Tannin Plus should be made a minimum of three
weeks before bottling. Use .3 to .75 grams per gallon for red
wines and .15 to .35 grams per gallon for white wines. Per 6
gallon batch, 1 to 3 packages are needed, depending on dosage.

What is Mead?
To put it simply, mead is a fermented beverage made
from honey which is sometimes referred to as “honey
wine.” In its simplest form it is just honey diluted with
water and fermented by yeast. A typical recipe for 5 gal-
lons of Mead is 12 lbs of honey, yeast nutrient and yeast.
(See page 14 for Midwest’s Mead Recipe Kits) By adjust-
ing the amount of honey or the type of yeast used, you
can make the Mead sweet, semi-sweet or dry according
to your preference. There are over a dozen styles of
mead which are created by adding different ingredients
and flavorings. Some of the most popular styles are
Melomel, which is mead with fruit or fruit juices, and
Metheglin, which is mead with cloves, cinnamon or
other spices.
Some believe that mead is the oldest fermented drink
made by man; there is evidence of mead making as much
as 5,000 years ago. Mead is found all through Viking
Anti Foam Agent Powder: A powdered, food-grade silicone
used to reduce excessive foaming during fermentation. You add
up to one gram of the Anti-Foam powder per gallon of beer
or wine prior to fermentation to prevent foam from pushing
up and clogging your airlock. Great to use with turbo yeast or
super yeast. The Anti-Foam will not affect the finished flavor,
appearance or head retention of your beverage. Contains 5
grams, enough to treat 5 gallons. (8328) (1/8 lb.) . . . . . . . . $1.25
Fermaid K: Provides DAP, free amino acids, yeast hulls,
unsaturated fatty acids, and other helpful products. It
helps encourage the yeast to maintain a strong cell wall in
a high-alcohol environment. They also keep the yeast from
providing off flavors due to stress, and help keep the yeast
in suspension. This can be used in any fermentation, but
is highly recommended in wine and meads. Recommended
dosage is 1 gram per gallon; rehydrate before use.

water before your yeast. It provides the proper micronutrients
to feed your yeast and allow them to create healthy cells.
Very effective in high alcohol situations. Recommended

home winemaker’s only choice
for imparting oak flavor in their
wines. These high quality oak
cubes allow you to achieve the same quality of oak flavor
that you taste in good wines. These are the same cubes used
by many wineries in Napa Valley. Oak staves (the wooden
strips that oak barrels are constructed of) are air-dried
for two to three years, then traditionally fire-toasted and
cubed. Since three varieties are available, you are able to
blend different levels of toast to achieve different effects.
While the heavy-toast cubes are recommended for big reds
that benefit from a heavy, caramelized oak flavor, they may
also be used to supplement the medium-toast cubes for a
more subtle flavoring. Many of our customers use a blend of
French and American cubes, usually using the French cubes
in a higher percentage. We have had success blending all
three oaks, again using the French in the highest percentage.

mythology and is known to have been made by the
Celts, Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians.
Making mead is super easy, starting with heating 1-2 gal-
lons of water. Stir in honey and yeast nutrient while the
kettle is off the burner. Add to the fermenter, top off to
5 gallons, add the yeast below 80 degrees.
Primary ferment for 2 weeks and keep in the secondary
fermenter for at least 3 months. Mead can bottled in
beer or wine bottles. It can be made still (no carbon-
ation) or carbonated in beer bottles. Fruit flavorings
and spices can be added at bottling or acid blend can
be added to make the mead dry (Not sweet). Bottles
should age for another 3 – 9 months. Mead will
continue to improve with age. Mead can be compared
to sweetened chardonnays or dry Chablis. Mead can be
served chilled, and when carbonated, is like a fine (#8305 & 8359,

will go right to your head.
§ Quick Tip: pH and Winemaking
pH is a fundamental element of the wine-making industry. pH
strongly influences wine properties such as color, oxidation,
biological and chemical stability. Hanna Instruments are
accurate and reliable tools for measuring pH levels in wine.
pH measures the quantity of acids present, the strength of
the acids, and the effects of minerals and other ingredients in
the wine. Wine pH depends on three main factors: the total
amount of acid present, the ratio of malic acid to tartaric acid,
and the amount of potassium present. Wines that contain
little acid and excess potassium show high pH values. Wine
with more tartaric acid, less malic acid, less potassium and
more titratable acid has lower pH values. pH values range
from 2.9 to 4.2 in wine. Wine’s chemical and biological
stability are very dependent on pH value. Lower pH values are
known to improve the stability, so winemakers usually prefer
a pH range of 3.0 to 3.5. The wine is so stable in this range that
many winemakers believe pH is a crucial guideline in wine-
making. When wine has high pH values, bacteria grow rapidly
and undesirable bacterial fermentation is more problematic.
This condition causes less biological and chemical stability,
and poorer color. Wines with a high pH always need more
attention and greater care.

D-Lactic Acid Test Kit: The D-Lactic Acid
test kit is designed to measure D-Lactic Acid
concentration, an important indicator of excess
or unwanted growth of lactic acid bacteria.
When winemaking is well controlled, these bacteria play an
important role in improving wine quality, but when growth
occurs at the wrong time or of the wrong species, wine quality
and acceptability are greatly decreased. Regular monitoring can
help prevent the development of lactic taint, biogenic amines,
and bitter, “mousy,” or “ropy” wines. The D-Lactic Acid kit has
a range of 30 - 500 mg/L, equivalent to a range of 120 - 2000
mg/L with diluted samples. 10 tests per kit.

Corks and Closures
First Quality Corks: These high-quality, champfered (beveled),
all-natural corks will work for all 750ml bottles. Not recommended
if you plan to age your wine in the bottle for 2 years or more.
The number 9 corks provide a snug fit, so you may want to
consider number 8’s if you have the plastic plunger style corker.
§ Quick Tip § Which size cork should I use? Small
size #7 corks are used with beer bottles. Medium
size #8 corks insert easily with the Plastic Plunger
Corker. Large #9 corks fit in any wine bottle and
are recommended for extended aging.

become tainted, won’t dry out, crumble, break or leak. A great
way to provide a barrier to oxidation for wines that will be aged
for a few years. We recommend using the Gilda Single level
corker or the Italian floor corker when using these corks, as
more force is required to get them in. (Potruguese corker is not
recommended when using these corks.)

§ Quick Tip: Aging of fruit wines. Fruit wines
require longer aging than kit wines. Basic fruit wine
aging guidelines: White wines will reach their best
flavor at 12 – 18 months. Red wines will reach their
best flavor and are consumable after 18 months and
reach optimal flavor at 2 – 3 years.

Bottle Wax: Achieve a tough, moisture-resistant coating that
preserves freshness, flavor and fragrance with these blends of
FDA approved waxes FD&C approved colors. We recommend
melting in soup cans; no mess to clean up off of pots, and any
unused portion may be left in the can for remelting at a later
time. One lb. bag of pellets is good for approximately 65 bottles.

§ Quick Tip: Use an old soup can for
bottle wax. Take the label off of an old
soup can and clean it out. Pour 1/2 of a bag of
bottle wax in to the soup can and place
it in a sauce pan with 3 inches of water in
it. Then heat the water until the wax melts.
Carefully dip the wine bottle into the wax
for a stylish seal. Cool the wax in the soup
can and store it until your next batch.

4th & Vine wine and beer labels (also see opposite page)
are self-adhesive labels that stick directly onto the bottle.
These labels allow you to create and print your own text and
graphics on the label. The text and graphics can be printed
Most of these labels come in packs of 32 with 4 labels
per sheet allowing you to create multiple labels per
and 8 Don and Sue’s Private Reserve labels. Each packet
includes a test print page and detailed instructions.
Visit www.4th-vine.com for
free templates to use with these wine labels
4th & Vine Labels are available in two different types:
(A) Semi-Gloss, which is better suited for use on laser printers or
bubble jet printers that have a setting for glossy paper, and
(B) Matte, which works well on inkjet printers or
bubble jet printers.
You may print either type of label on a laser or an inkjet, just keep
in mind that they will look better if printed on the type of printer
they were designed for. Only a few of the labels are available
in both types, blank label numbers 33000, 15000, and 14000.
Semi-Gloss Labels for use on laser printers are designated by
the letter A, like this: (A33000)
Matte Labels for use on inkjet printers are designated by the
letter B, like this: (B 33000)

grapes are picked by hand and processed using methods that were devised centuries ago and that were Solid Silicon Bungs for Barrels:
handed down from generation to generation.
Grapes are typically harvested in the Fall, from September through mid-October, depending on a grape’s
growing region and the region’s climate. However, certain types of grapes, which are cultivated to make
high-quality sweet wines are harvested late in the season. These grapes are sometimes harvested in
November or the beginning of December until light snow falls in the area. The grape picking process is a
lengthy procedure and one that is taken seriously by grape growers.
The grape picking process involves workers who pick, gather, and process the grapes. When a grape is Small Large

 Sodas & Liqueurs
Basic Soda Making Instructions
from Extract: 1 Gallon
1. Keep in mind you will need space to refrigerate or cool
all the bottles you make in as few as 2 days after making
the batch to prevent over-carbonation and exploding
bottles. 4-6 days is average.
2. Dissolve 1/4 tsp powdered champagne yeast in 1/2 cup
lukewarm water (85-95ºF). Allow yeast to rehydrate for
at least 10 minutes. Set aside for use later.
3. Heat one-half gallon of water in a stock pot to
approximately 130ºF.
4. Dissolve 2 cups of sugar and 1 tablespoon of soda extract.
5. Cool the sugar and extract mixture by placing it in a cold
water bath in the sink.
6. Stir occasionally until mixture is about 95ºF.
7. Add prepared yeast and stir well with sanitized spoon.
8. Top up mixture with water to one gallon. Add sugar or
extract to taste.
9. Fill sanitized bottles to within 2 inches of the top of the
bottle. Plastic PET bottles are recommended.
10. Place bottles on their side at room temp (70-80ºF.) for 2-
5 days or until bottles are extremely firm. Check for leaks.
11. Refrigerate 1 bottle and test for carbonation. If the soda
is adequately carbonated move ALL of your bottles
to a refrigerator or a cool place like a cellar or garage.
(Below 55º) If the soda needs more carbonation, wait
one day and repeat this step.
12. Keep bottles stored upright in fridge. Flavor will
improve after 1-2 weeks of aging. When serving leave
the last 1-2 oz. in the bottle so the yeast sediment is
not poured into the glass.

Sodas & Liqeuers
Basic Liqueur Making Guide
When making liqueurs, you can either ferment your own
alcohol base or use a neutral grain alcohol or vodka.
To ferment your own 20% ABV alcohol base (1 gallon):
1. Sanitize a 1 gallon fermenter, small funnel, probe
thermometer, and stirring spoon.
2. In a saucepan, dissolve 3 lbs. sugar in 1 quart of water.
Stir to dissolve sugar completely.
3. Use funnel to pour syrup into one-gallon glass jug.
Top up with warm water, leaving head space for
thermometer and ensure the water is between 80-90ºF.
Add packet of Liquor Quik Superyeast Mini (2936) and
stir for 1 minute. Seal the packet of yeast and refrigerate
for future uses.
4. Allow to ferment at 70-80ºF ambient temperature for 5-7
days or until hydrometer reading drops below 0.992. For
best results, keep temperature constant and aerate daily.
5. Using sanitized siphon equipment, siphon the alcohol
base off the sediment into another sanitized one-gallon
glass jug. The alcohol base will likely be cloudy, so you
may at this time clarify the alcohol base with a clarifier
such as Super-Kleer K.C. finings. Also, you may filter
further with a gravity or a Mini Jet wine filter. For the
cleanest tasting alcohol base, use a CarbonSnake Filter
System as a final step to filter out undesirable odors and
flavors.
6. Alcohol base may be stored in a capped, one-gallon jug.
The base will be enough to make 4 liqueurs from Liquor
Quik extracts. (Four 750 ml bottles)
Once you have your base alcohol:
1. Mix Liquor Quik extract with 25 fl. Oz. of alcohol base
(20-30% Alcohol by Volume).
2. Add 3/4 to 1-1/4 cup granulated sugar depending on
the liqueur being made. Less sugar may be required if
making from your own alcohol base.
3. Optionally, you may add 1 fl. ounce of glycerin
as a thickener.
4. Liqueur will improve in taste with two weeks aging.
Other products for liqueurs include:
750 ml. screw cap bottles and caps, page 72
Five inch funnel, page 36
High-alcohol yeasts, page 23.

Extreme Brewing (Calalgione): Extreme
Brewing is a recipe-driven resource for
aspiring homebrewers who are interested in
recreating these specialty beers at home, but
don’t have the time to learn the in-depth
science and lore behind home-brewing. As
such, all recipes are malt-syrup based (the
simplest brewing method) with variations for partial-grain
brewing. While recipes are included for classic beer styles
-- ales and lagers -- Extreme Brewing has a unique emphasis
on hybrid styles that use fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices
to create unique flavor combinations. Once their brew is
complete, readers can turn to section three, The Rewards of
Your Labor, to receive guidance on presentation, including
corking, bottle selection and labeling as well as detailed
information on food pairings, including recipes for beer-infused
dishes and fun ideas for themed dinners that allow the reader
to share their creations with family and friends. 184 pages.

author of “The Brewer’s Companion,” says: “At
first glance, this would appear to be the kind of
inexpensive brewing book designed to be tossed
in with the beginning brewer’s kit of startup
supplies. But Brewing Quality Beers is more like
a serious brewing textbook with all but the most
essential information stripped away. There should be no danger
here of being intimidated by the complexity of brewing. This
book lays it all out in a calm, hype-less manner. Whether you are
a beginner who wants the basics in the clearest possible form,
or someone who is just wondering what this homebrew thing is

 Coffee Roasting
Midwest now carries coffee roasting supplies! Roasting your
own coffee beans at home is extremely easy to do - and it
only takes 15 minutes! Not only that, but the results are
delicious. Try roasting beans from different regions, blending,
and roasting to different levels to produce your own house
coffees. The i-Roast 2 makes roasting coffee beans as simple
as pushing a button. A few tips to get you started: After the
beans are roasted and cooled, let them rest in a loosely covered
jar for about 4-24 hours to “de-gas”. The aroma and flavor
of the resulting coffee will be best if brewed 4-24 hours after
roasting. If storing roasted beans longer, seal the container
tightly and keep in a dry, dark location. Room temperature is
suitable. Midwest does not recommend storing roasted beans
in the refrigerator (too humid) or the freezer (too humid).
Consider roasted beans “fresh” if used within 7 days. Some
leading experts feel the degradation of flavors begins in as little as
three (3) days. Roasting your own coffee beans allows you to
not only save money, but always have fresh, flavorful coffee
beans at home.
Why roast your own coffee beans?
The answer to the question is as simple as roasting coffee itself:
“enormous benefits to the quality, cost, society,
and environment”.
One of the truest statements ever made
about home roasting coffee is “the worst
home roasted coffee is better than
anything you can buy”.
Unfortunately, despite the
proliferation and growth
of the gourmet coffee
industry, more often than
not coffee sent to market
is either stale or made with
poor quality beans. This, in many
cases, is because of logistical
issues of shipping from point to
point, not because of outright neglect.
The fact is, coffee begins losing its key flavor characteristics within
seven (7) days immediately after roasting. According to coffee

experts, there is no bag, can, or container of any type that helps
to retain these essential qualities. 99% of all coffee drinkers have
never experienced the naturally occurring characteristics such as
blueberry, chocolate, lemon, currant, or even sassafrass. With
home roasting, however, these flavors come to life.
Next you have issues of quality. According to FDA rules and lax
industry standards, coffee can allow up to 30% rocks, twigs and
moldy beans (called triage) and still be labeled pure coffee. In some
cases beans are so moldy they require steam cleaning to remove
the mold. In other cases, the coffee is so bitter, that it must be
steamed to make it somewhat palatable, inevitably weakening
the flavor. Compounding this reduction of quality is the fact these
same companies that allow for triage also receive coffee that is
machined-picked. This often involves the mixing of ripe, juicy, red
coffee berries with over-ripe and/or un-ripened bitter green ones.
