Brewing Starter Kit:This is our most popular brewing equipment kit. This equipment kit provides the essential equipment for the aspiring brewer 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.Brewing Starter Equipment Kit (MBEK2) (35 lb. DW). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $89.95If you prefer a Better Bottle, you may substitute one non-ported Better Bottle for the glass carboy.Brewing Starter Equipment Kit w/Better Bottle Does not come with carboy brush.

Midwest Brewing Starter Equipment Kit

Brewing Basics Equipment Kit: This equipment kit has everything you need to start brewing beer at home except for bottles, ingredients and a brewing kettle. Our starter kit includes all of the essential equipment needed to start homebrewing and is an economical way to get started. If you are worried that brewing beer at home is complicated and difficult, don’t be. When you get your equipment and ingredients, just put your free homebrewing video in your DVD player and go. Just follow along as we boil it, bucket it, and bottle it. After 2 hours you’ll be surprised how easy brewing is. Our starter kit is designed to be expanded as your level of homebrewing progresses. This kit is designed for single stage fermentation. Be sure to check our new upgrade options on Page 7!Brewing Basics Equipment Kit (MBEK1) (10 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $59.95

Brewing Intermediate Kit: This versatile equipment kit is available with either two 5 gallon glass carboys or two 5 gallon Better Bottles. Glass carboys have been the secondary fermenter of choice for decades for home-brewers. Better Bottles provide a quality alternative to glass fermenters. See page 42 for all of the details of these fermenters. We have upgraded this equipment kit to include a Fermtech AutoSiphon, the easiest method of starting a siphon. The components of this kit represent a considerable savings compared to being purchased sepa-rately. The equipment kit is sure to keep you brewing for years to come.Brewing Intermediate Kit w/Glass Carboys (MBEK3A) (70 lb. DW) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$129.95

MidwestMaster Brewer’s Equipment KitwithKeggingSetup: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!

After looking at all of these plastic buckets and big glass jugs, you ask yourself “How can I make beer?” With our video, our customers learn proper brewing techniques from the start. There are countless books out there that will tell you many ways to brew beer. Our DVD covers many beginning to intermediate techniques and

tips that will make homebrewing more enjoyable and 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 kit and a recipe kit, throw in the DVD and start brewing.” Many customers go home that night and brew beer. They’ll come back and say “You were right.”

Brewing beer is not rocket science! The DVD also covers all-grain brewing and winemaking instruction. It also shows and explains 4 types of kegging options. Our DVD calms any fears when giving a homebrewing equipment kit as a gift. It also complements any other homebrewing gift to an existing homebrewer. Midwest’s homebrewing DVD can be purchased separately for $4.95. (Includes shipping and handling.)

1. If you upgraded your yeast to a Wyeast Liquid Yeast or a White Labs Yeast, refrigerate the yeast ASAP. With either the Propagator 1.75 oz or Activator 4.25 oz. Wyeast, place the pack on a hard surface and break the inner pouch with the palm of your hand. With the Propagator yeasts, wait 1-2 days (room temperature) for the pouch to expand to over 2 inches thick. With the Activator yeasts, break the inner pouch 1-3 hours before brewing. At this point you are ready to brew. With White Labs, simply warm the yeast to room temperature prior to brewing.

2. Start heating 2 - 3 gallons of water in your brewing kettle. Place the specialty grains in the muslin bag and steep at 150-160 degrees F for 10-30 minutes.

3. Remove the kettle from the burner and add the malt extract. Return kettle to the burner and bring to a boil.

4. Add the hops as specified by the kit instructions. Total boiling time of 30-60 minutes.

5. Pour the wort (unfermented beer) into the sanitized primary fermenter. Top off with cold water to the 5 gallon mark on the side of the fermenter.

6. Cool the wort and add the yeast. Seal up the fermenter and wait for the fermentation process to finish (10-21 Days).

7. Transfer the beer into the bottling bucket. Add 3/4 cup of priming sugar and bottle.

8. Patience is a virtue! Wait 3-4 weeks and sample. Aging almost always will make your homebrew taste better.

Each Midwest Recipe Kit comes with very detailed instructions. Instructional DVD is free with any Midwest Recipe Kit.

Quick Directions for brewing 5 gallons of quality beer with Specialty Grains, Malt

Extract, Hops, Yeast and Priming Sugar. (Recipe Kits can be found on pages 9 through 18.)

Midwest Recipe Kits

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. Nineoutoftengiftgiverswillincludearecipekitwiththeirgift.

Brewing Kettle

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 stainlesssteel brewing kettle will complement any giftequipmentpackagefromMidwest.

Bottles

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.

§Quick Tip Lager yeasts are bottom fermentingyeasts that ferment at temperatures between45-60degrees. They require longer fermentationtime (3–5 weeks) and also take longer tocarbonate in the bottle. (6–10 weeks). The bestmethod of fermentation is using a refrigeratorand a thermostat controller. A cool basementfloor duringwintermonthswill also provide cooltemperaturesforlagering.Unlessyoumakeayeaststarter, we recommend starting the fermentationprocess at ale temperatures (60 – 65ºF). Afterthe yeast starts fermenting put the fermenter incooler temperatures. If you don’t have a coolfermentation area the German Ale yeast1007 is noted for its lager like characteristics.

§ Quick Tip § Belgian Style beers benefit greatlyfrom a longer secondary fermentation. Many ofthese beers improve with age in the bottle up to5 years! Many of our customers have severalbatches of Belgian style beers going at the sametime. Another carboy or Better Bottle allows youto leave a batch sit for awhile, allowing it to age.If you have the ability to cellar these brews at 60degrees or below, your patience will be rewardedwith an incredibly smooth, high-gravity ale.

Fresh Ingredients are Good!Some homebrew suppliers buy their

ingredients in large quantities and slowly repackage them.

These ingredients can sit around for months. Midwest supplies has some

of the freshest ingredients you’ll find nationwide! Just look for notes

like this one in the catalog for reasons why it’s best to

buy fresh ingredients from Midwest.

Wyeast Ale Profiles1007GermanAleYeast: True top cropping yeast, low ester formation, broad temperature range affects styles. Will ferment cold; 55° F range, producing lager characteristics including sulfur production. Style is noted for dry, crisp characteristics. Fermentation at higher temperatures (70-75° F) may produce some mild fruitiness. Extremely poor flocculating yeast, generally remains significantly in suspension without treatment or filtration. Pad filtration is often difficult. Maturation: Beers mature fairly rapidly, even when cold fermentation is used. Low or no detectable diacetyl, alcohol tolerance approximately 11% ABV. Flocculation - low; apparent attenuation 73-77%. (55-68° F)—Alts, American Wheats. (W1007)&(ACT1007)1028LondonAleYeast: Rich with a dry finish, mineral profile, bold and crisp, with some fruitiness. Often used for higher gravity ales and when a high level of attenuation is desired for the style. Flocculation - medium; apparent attenuation 73-77%. (60-72° F) (W1028)&(ACT1028)1084IrishAleYeast: This yeast ferments extremely well in dark roast worts. Beers fermented in the lower temperature range produce dry and crisp beers to fruity beers with nice complexity in the upper range. Ester production is enhanced and rich with fermentation temperatures above 64° F. Flocculation is low to moderate with filtration typically required. Alcohol tolerance is approximately 10-11% ABV. Flocculation - medium; apparent attenuation 71-75%. (62-72° F)—Dry Stout, Milk Stout, Oatmeal Stout, and Porter (W1084)&(ACT1084)1056AmericanAleYeast: Very clean crisp flavor characteristics. Low fruitiness and mild ester production. Slightly citrus like with cool 60-66° F fermentation temperatures. Versatile yeast, which produces many beer styles allowing malt and hop character to dominate the beer profile. Flocculation is moderate. Flocculation improves with dark malts in grain bill. Normally requires filtration for bright beers. Flocculation - low to medium; apparent attenuation 73-77%. (60-72°)— American Pale, Brown Ales, Porters, Stouts, IPA’s (W1056)&(ACT1056)1098BritishAleYeast: The original dried yeast from Whitbread. Produces beers with a clean neutral finish allowing malt and hop character to dominate. Ferments dry & crisp, slightly tart, fruity and well-balanced. Ferments well down to 65° F. Flocculation - medium; apparent attenuation 73-75%. (64-72° F)—Pale ales, Bitters, and Brown ales. (W1098)&(ACT1098)

1099WhitbreadAleYeast: A mildly malty and slightly fruity fermentation profile; not as tart and dry

as 1098 and much more flocculent. Clears well without filtration. Low

fermentation temperatures will produce a clean finish

with a very low ester profile. Flocculation - high; apparent attenuation 68-72%. (64-75° F) (W1099)&(ACT1099)

1187RingwoodAleYeast: Great Yeast of European origin

with unique fermentation and flavor characteristics. Distinct fruit ester and

high flocculation provide a malty complex profile, also clears well. Thorough diacetyl rest is recommended

after fermentation is complete. Flocculation - high; apparent attenuation 68-72%. (64-74° F) (W1187)&(ACT1187)

TheimportanceofaYeastStarterMaking 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.

1272AllAmericanAleIIYeast: Fruitier and more flocculent than 1056, slightly nutty, soft, clean, slightly tart finish. Accentuates hop character at warmer fermentation temperatures with intense fruitiness. Flocculation - high; apparent attenuation 72-76%. (60-72° F) (W1272)&(ACT1272)

1275ThamesValleyAleYeast: Produces classic British bitters, rich complex flavor profile, clean, light malt character, low fruitiness, low esters, well balanced. Flocculation - medium; apparent attenuation 72-76%. (62-72° F)(W1275)&(ACT1275)

1318LondonAleYeastIII: From traditional London brewery with great malt and hop profile. True top cropping strain, fruity, very light, soft balanced palate, finishes slightly sweet. Flocculation - high; apparent attenuation 71-75%. (64-74° F) (W1318)&(ACT1318)

1332NorthwestAleYeast: One of the classic ale strains from the Northwest U.S. Breweries. Produces a malty and mildly fruity ale with good depth and complexity. Flocculation - high; apparent attenuation 67-71%. (65-75° F)(W1332)&(ACT1332)

1335BritishAleYeastII: Typical of British and Canadian ale fermentation profile with good flocculating and malty flavor characteristics, crisp finish, clean, fairly dry. Flocculation - high; apparent attenuation 73-76%. (63-75° F)(W1335)&(ACT1335)

1338EuropeanAleYeast: From Wissenschaftliche in Munich. Full-bodied complex strain finishing very malty with full bodied profile, very desirable in English Style Brown Ales and Porters. Produces a dense, rocky head during fermentation. Flocculation - high; apparent attenuation 67-71%. (62-72° F) (W1338)&(ACT1338)

1450Denny’sFavorite50: This terrific all-round yeast can be used for almost any beer style, and it is a mainstay of one homebrewers, Mr. Denny Conn. It is unique in that it produceas a big mouthfeel and accentuates the malt, caramel or fruit character of a beer without being sweet or under-attenuated. Flocculation - low; Attenuation: 74-76%. (60-70°F). Alcohol Tolerance: ABV 10%. (W1450)&(ACT1450)1728ScottishAleYeast: Ideally suited for Scottish-style ales, and high-gravity ales of all types. Can be estery with warm fermentation temperatures. Flocculation - high; apparent attenuation 69-73%. (55-75° F) (W1728)&(ACT1728)

1968LondonESBAleYeast: This extremely flocculent 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 attenuation 67-71%. (64-72° F)—British Pale Ales, Special Bitters(W1968)&(ACT1968)

2565KölschYeast: True top cropping yeast similar to Alt strains. Produces slightly more fruity/winey characteristics. Fruitiness increases with temperature increase. Low or no detectable diacetyl production. Also ferments well at cold (55-60° F) range. Used to produce quick conditioning pseudo lager beers. Poor flocculating yeast requires filtration to produce bright beers or additional settling time. Flocculation - low; apparent attenuation 73-77%. (56-70° F)—Traditional American use: Kölsch, Fruit beers, Light pseudo lagers (W2565)&(ACT2565)

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.

WL005-BritishAleYeast: Like most English strains, this yeast produces malty beers. Excellent for all English styles including bitter, pale ale, porter and brown ale. Attenuation is 67-74%. Flocculation is High. Optimum fermentation temperature is 65-70º FWLP007-DryEnglishAle: Clean, highly flocculent, and highly attenuative yeast. This yeast is similar to WLP002 in flavor profile, but is 10% more attenuative. This eliminates the residual sweetness, and makes the yeast well suited for high gravity ales. It also reaches terminal gravity quickly. 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-SuperHighGravityYeast: 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 mead, which have almost no nutrient level to begin with.

* Do not start with the entire wort sugar at once. Begin fermentation with a wort that would produce a 6-8% beer, and add wort (it can be concentrated) each day during the first 5 days. This can be done together with aeration. This is mandatory if the reported 25% ABV is to be achieved.

Dry Yeast

§ 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.

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.

DanstarMunichGermanWheatBeerYeast: Munich German Wheat Beer yeast originated in Bavaria is used by a number of commercial breweries to produce German-style wheat beers. Quick start and vigorous fermentation, which can be completed in 4 days above 17°C/62°F with medium to high attenuation. Fermentation rate, fermentation time and degree of attenuation are dependent on pitching rate, yeast handling, fermentation temperature and the nutritional quality of the wort. Flocculation with this strain is low. In classic open fermentation vessels, the yeast can be skimmed off the top. Some settling can be promoted by cooling and use of fining agents and isinglass. Aroma is estery to both palate and nose with typical banana notes. Does not display off-odors when properly handled. Munich yeast has found widespread use in the production of German Weizen and Hefeweizen. Munich yeast is best used at traditional ale temperatures after rehydration. Gluten and GMO-free. 11 gram package. (2909) (1/16 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $2.35

For best results, all dry yeast should be rehydrated before pitching. Boil and then cool a cup of water to between 90-110º F. This sterilizes the water. Dissolve the yeast in the water for 15-30 minutes.

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.

G r a i n sGrains


American2-Row(Rahr): 2-Row domestic blend of North American grown Harrington and Metcalfe barley varieties.

American2-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.

PesticideFree2-Row: Use as you would regular 2-Row. Organically grown barley malt.

American6-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.

HalcyonPaleAleMalt: 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.

KolschMalt(GlobalMalt): 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%.

OpticMalt: 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.

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.

BohemianPilsner(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(GlobalMalt): 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.

PaleAle(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.

PaleAle(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.

PaleAle(Castle): Suited for ale production of all types, also fully modified.

PaleAle(Weyermann):A darker malt with the malt flavor of Germany.

MarisOtter(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.

GoldenPromise(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 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.

MoreComplexFlavorProfiles: 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.

FreshestPossibleBeer: 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!

InfinitePossibilities: 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.

MoreEquipment: 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.

MoreTime: 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.

MoreDifficulttoBrewIndoors: 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.

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 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.

WhiteWheat: Malted wheat is most often used in Weizenbier, Hefeweizen, and Belgian Witbier. Malted wheat also aids in head retention when used in small amounts. White wheat is a softer kernel that is suitable for all wheat beers. Requires a protein rest in the mash if brewing all-grain.RedWheat: Produced from North American grown wheat. Red wheat is a smaller, harder kernel that some brewers prefer in their wheat beers.PaleWheat: Light German Wheat malt adds foam stability and is flavorful in Weisse beers.CaraWheat: This wheat malt underwent the same process as a caramel/crystal malt and will add a unique caramel character to any Weisse style beer, or substitute for your favorite crystal malt.

DarkWheat: Used in dark wheat beers and weizenbocks. Use smaller quantities in other dark ales to aid in head retention and to add body. Great malt for dunkel-weisse. Requires a protein rest if brewing all-grain.ChocolateWheat: Kilned wheat malt lends a unique flavor dimension, processed in the same manner as Chocolate barley malt. Use to lend color and a gentle roasted edge.UnmaltedWheat: For use in producing authentic Belgian styles, most notably Wit and Lambics. Protein rest highly recommended if used in mashing.Rye: Rye lends a dry bread, spicy rye character to any beer, especially appropriate for use in Roggenbier (rye beer), and makes an interesting addition to smoked and wheat beers. High glucan levels and lack of husk make this malt susceptible to slow run-off. Multi-step mashing and rice hulls recommended to avoid stuck sparges.

FlakedBarley: This adjunct adds body, creaminess, and aids in head retention. Used in stouts and German lagers.FlakedCorn(Maize): Lightens color and body but maintains alcohol content. Use in small quantities to add depth of character to lighter ales and lagers.FlakedOats: Adds a silky smoothness to stouts and Belgian ales.OatMalt: Try this unique, hard to find malt in porters and stouts for the unmistakable texture and silkiness only oats will produce. You may wish to experiment with the malt in other British ales, as well. FlakedRice: Lightens body, color and flavor. Provides a light, crisp finish. Used in light American ales and lagers.FlakedRye: Gives a dry, crisp, strong rye flavor to light colored ales. Used in Roggen beers.

FlakedWheat: Greatly increases body and head retention in most any beer. Use in small quantities, 4 – 6 ounces in a 5 gallon batch.TorrifiedWheat: This whole-kernel version of flaked wheat will improve body and head retention. Use in British ales to add a crisp finish.TorrifiedBarley: Gives a higher yield and a more trouble-free brew than raw barley. Produces a lower color in the final beer without lowering the original gravity. It produces an all-grain beer with a milder, less grainy-malty flavor.

GoldenNakedOats: This malt lends a sweet berry-nut flavor. Use at a rate of 4-15% of the total grist to deliver a deep golden hue with light caramel flavors as well as a creamy, satin finish.

HoneyMalt: A very versatile malt. The intense honey-like sweetness this grain imparts has been patterned after German Bruhmalt and is well suited for use in Brown ales, Strong ales, Porters and Stouts. Has no bitter roast flavors, and does not add significantly to color.

SmokedMalt(Weyermann): Beech-wood smoked malt is milder than peated malt and lends a gentle smoke profile to any beer, especially suited to Rauchbier styles.

SmokedMalt(Briess):Produced using cherry wood and a proprietary smoking process, resulting in a unique, enzyme-active specialty malt that contributes a smooth, sweet, smoky flavor. Try this malt in Scottish Ales, Smoked Beers, Porters, Bamberger Beers, and Rauch Bocks.

PeatedMalt: This malt is lightly peated and used to enhance flavor in Scottish type ales. While the malt is in the kiln, peat moss outside the kiln is gently smoked over slow burning coals, allowing its vapors to drift above the malt. Stronger in flavor then German Rauch (smoked) malt.

AcidulatedMalt: This malt is acidulated with lactic acid and can be used to lower mash pH. Use up to 3% in dry stouts to add a tang to the finish.

§QuickTip § 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.

StarSan: This is an acid-based no-rinse sanitizer. Use only one ounce per 5 gallons of water. Star San is odorless, flavorless, and requires only one to two minutes of contact time. This product does tend to foam, which has advantages and disadvantages. Foaming action helps to sanitize cracks and crevices, but you need to allow extra time for draining. You can minimize the foaming

effect by adding Star San to the vessel after the water has been added, and by siphoning as opposed to pouring the solution between vessels. Since Star San is acid-based, contact with soft metals, plastic and rubber should be kept to a minimum. Kept in a sealed container, a Star San solution will stay effective for as long as three to four weeks.

HandPumpLineCleaner: Keeping those beer lines clean is very important. This kit 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 pump to the faucet shank. Then simply pump 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. (7408) (4 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$52.95

BLC is the industry standard for cleaning out beer lines. This is a great all-purpose cleaner that may also be used to clean bottles and carboys. BLC is liquid, so it easily dissolves in warm or cold water. Use a dilution of 2 ounces for 5 gallons when cleaning bottles or carboys, or a half ounce per quart for cleaning beer line assemblies.

A*L*C(AcidLineCleaner): 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. 4 oz.

HowdoIprime5gallonsofbeerwithcornsugarordriedmaltextract?

For bottling/priming 5 gallons of fully fermented beer using dextrose (corn sugar), add three quarters (3⁄4) of a cup to achieve an appropriate carbonation level. For kegging (mini or Ball Lock)-priming 5 gallons of fully fermented beer using dextrose (corn sugar), add one third (1/3) of a cup to achieve an appropriate carbonation level. You may wish to add slightly less or more in either case depending on the style of beer or your own individual preference.

For bottling/priming 5 gallons of fully fermented beer using dried malt extract, add one and one quarter (1-1⁄4) cups to achieve an appropriate carbonation level. For kegging (mini or Ball Lock)- priming 5 gallons of fully fermented beer using dried malt extract, add one half (1⁄2) of a cup to achieve an appropriate carbonation level. You may wish to add slightly less or more in either case depending on the style of beer or your own individual preference.

Malt extract will take slightly longer to condition the brew than dextrose will. Be patient and all will turn out well.

Better-BottleDryTrapairlocks: These precision check valves are made of an incredibly tough, proprietary PET that does not stain or impart flavors and is easily cleaned and sanitized. A polished ceramic ball rests in a tapered seat to create a one-way seal. Fermentation gases can

escape easily by pushing the ball up, but air is blocked from flowing in the reverse direction. DryTrap air locks do not use liquid, so there is nothing to suck back, blow out, or evaporate. (6006) (1 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$14.95

BetterBottleRackingAdapter:The Better-Bottle Racking Adapter couples the SimpleFlo valve (sold separately, see below, order #6007) to any ported Better-Bottle carboy, and the combination makes professional racking and bottling quick and easy. Racking simply requires rotating the Adapter so the tip of its intake stem is just above the sediment layer, opening the SimpleFlo valve (sold separately, see below, order #6007), and letting gravity go to work – there is no need for siphons or pumps. The external pointer makes it possible to adjust the position of the stem even if the stem cannot be seen through a dark wine or beer.

The Racking Adapter is especially popular with winemakers and brewers who ferment on shelves, because carboys can be racked without having to move them to a surface with head room

for racking canes. (6014) (1 lb.). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $23.95*BetterBottleSpigotInstallationTool(6017T) (1/4 lb.) $3.00

BetterBottleSimpleFloValve: The Better-Bottle SimpleFlo valve can be used as an in-line valve for hoses or as an outlet for pails and Better-Bottle carboys. The valve is designed so it can be disassembled and reassembled for cleaning or

inspection without tools in a matter of seconds, and its wide, simple flow path resists clogging. The input side of the valve is designed to push into 1/2” ID soft plastic tubing and to mate in quick-disconnect fashion with the Better-Bottle Racking Adapter and Pail Adapters. The output side is designed to make connection with 1/2”, 3/8”, and 1/4” ID soft plastic tubing and rigid or semi-rigid 3/8” OD tubing. A 3/8” OD bottle filling tube will push into the output very nicely.

PETO-RingClosure: Better-Bottle’s rigid closure fits all sizes of Better-Bottle carboys and has none of the drawbacks of stoppers or caps. The closure is made of a special PET that can withstand continuous service

at 100° C (212° F) and is hydrophobic and non-porous, so it does not stain or take up flavors and is easy to clean and sanitize. A plain plug is supplied with each PET closure. As a rule, the hose barb fittings are used during racking, so a given location may only require a few sets. (6125) (1/2 lb.) . . . $17.95

Regional Brewery Spotlight The Midwest is fortunate to have many award winning Microbreweries in our area. Surly Brewing Company of Brooklyn Center is one of the most successful in recent years. Like many microbreweries, their roots go back to homebrewing. Owner Omar Ansari started homebrewing in 1994. His continued interest in brewing is what inspired a plan for a brewery and culminated in opening Surly Brewing in 2006.

Todd Haug, Surly’s brewmaster, started brewing at home when he was 19 years old. From there he brewed at

St. Paul’s Summit Brewing Company for several years and at Rock Bottom Brewery in Minneapolis for 9 years before joining forces with Ansari in 2006. Surly is currently brewing 4 year-round beers with additional 6-8 seasonal and limited release specialty beers.One of Surly’s trademark beers is called Furious. Made with Golden Promise malt from Scotland, this brew has been rated the third best American IPA by members of BeerAdvocate.com. When Haug is asked where his recipes came from, he simply replies “Made them up in my head.” Furious uses 4 different hop varieties to create a complex beer that has already gained a national cult-like following. Midwest has worked with Todd Haug to create a Furious recipe for Midwest’s customers. For a limited time Midwest is offering a limited edition beer recipe called “Ferocious.”

Ferocious Created with the brewers of Surly Brewing in Minnesota, this IPA uses 6 ounces of hops to create a bold brew that is rich in malt sweetness infused with bright hop flavor and aroma. Requires dry hopping (See pg. 26 for details). Our ingredients for this recipe include 6 lbs of Gold Malt Extract, 3.3 lbs of Amber Malt Extract, 4 oz. of Crystal 55 lov., 1 oz. of bittering hops, 2 oz. blend of Simcoe and Amarillo aroma hops, 3 oz. of Simcoe, Ahtanum and Amarillo for dry hopping, yeast, priming sugar and a grain bag.

StainlessSteelImmersionWortChiller: 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. (6655) (4 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $49.95

ImmersionWortChiller: Cools your wort in minutes. 25’ of 3/8” copper tubing. It is important to cool beer (wort) to yeast pitching temperature in the shortest possible time. By putting a wort chiller into a brew kettle at the end of the boil and running cool water through the chiller, it is possible to cool the wort below 80 degrees in 12 to 15 minutes. This reduces the lag time between the boil and active yeast fermentation. (6680) (4 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . $64.95Faucetadapter (6501) (1 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . .$2.50

§ Quick Tip: Getting a good crush is important forgetting the best mash efficiency and extraction rate.If crushed grain is too finely ground, itwill turn intoporridge.Ifthegrainsaren’tcrushedenoughitwillresultin a poor conversion rate.A good crush has a rangeof particle sizes that create a compromise betweenextraction and lautering. From years of experience,we highly recommend the Schmidling Malt Mills.

Yeast Management

OxygenInjectionSystem: 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.

AerationSystem: Instead of diffusing pure oxygen into your wort, this system uses filtered air. Comes with pump, sanitary 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

MidwestYeastStarterKit: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.

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.

Midwest Deluxe All-Grain Equipment KitsDeluxe All Grain Cooler Kits

DeluxeAllGrainCoolerKits: We just couldn’t call these basic starter kits, they are far too cool! These heavy-duty coolers will hold temperatures for hours when covered, keeping your mash 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-gravity 5 gallon batches. The 10 Gallon Capacity kit will accomodate 10 Gallon all-malt batches at around 1.070 original gravity, but is also good for high gravity 5 gallon batches. Preassembled.

All Grain Blichmann BoilerMaker Kettle Kits

BoilerMakerAllGrainEquipmentKits: The ultimate in brew pots, the BoilerMaker kettles are specifically designed for brewing, whereas other kettles are adapted for brewing purposes. The mash tun includes specially designed false bottom. Both the mash tun and hot liquor tank include a 3-piece stainless ball valve, an adjustable-face BrewMometer, and an integrated site gauge to monitor temperatures and liquid levels. Kit also includes a sparge arm and high temperature braided hosing. You will still want to have another kettle to boil your wort. Consider adding another BoilerMaker to the mix! It is recommended to go with a larger BoilerMaker than the Hot Liquor Tun and Mash Tun system you choose. The larger kettle will give you plenty of space to hold the pre-boil volume as well as cut down on the risk of boilovers.

ElectricBrewHeaters: Unlike gas burners, the Electric Brew Heater provides portable, precisely adjustable heat for boiling and mashing without the need for venting. It fits in a boiling pot, sparge water tank, or mash tun, and can be used for both wort boiling and mashing. This 110 volt heater features an adjustable thermostat controlling a 2,200 watt stainless steel-clad heating element, and is capable of bringing 5 gallons to a fume-free boil in just under one hour. Handy for boiling wort when a gas stove is not practical, and ideal for use as a compact sparge water tank heater or mash tun heater when you want something small and adjustable to complete your mashing system. Comes in an 11” and 15” length to fit different pots and applications. The 11” size is designed to fit our 30 and 32 quart pots for boiling, while the 15” length fits 10 gallon Igloo cooler mash tun conversions (do not boil in an Igloo or you will melt it), and also perfectly fits the Polar Ware 10 gallon Brew Pot and other pots that are 15” to 18” deep. Fully adjustable thermostat has an infinite adjustment that lets you set the temperature from 120 degrees F to 212 degrees F. An indicator light turns on when the element is on, so you can make precise adjustments. The heating element and down tube are both constructed of stainless steel, for years of use without corrosion. An external thermometer is needed when mashing or for setting sparge water tank temperature. 11” Heater (B8134) (3 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $179.9515” Heater (B8135) (3 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $179.95

The Fermenator Stainless Steel Conical Fermenters

7 Gallon Fermenator 14 Gallon Fermenator 27 Gallon Fermenator

TheFermenatoris 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. • Large open top makes scouring and sanitizing the interior a snap • The rotating racking arm allows siphoning completely

sediment free beer

Weld-freeInterior: 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.

Guaranteed100%LeakFree!!!Stainless o-ring retainers hold o-rings firmly in place, eliminating any chance of rolling or leaking.

Easytocleanweld-freefittings: 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!

RotatingRackingArm: 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!

Lidhatch: 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.

PressureCapableStainlessLid: 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.

FermenatorswithTri-ClampFittings: By 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.

Tap-A-Draft SystemTap-A-Draft Starter Kit: Each Tap-A-Draft bottle holds 6 liters (1.6 gallons) of beer and fits perfectly on a standard refrigerator shelf. Three 6-liter bottles hold 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.

Nitrogen prevents the wine or mixed drinks from becoming oxidized, enabling the wine or mixed drink to be dispensed by the glass for weeks! Tap-A Draft bottle dimensions are 7.25”D x 12.25”H.

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

benefit with aging, but for most standard ales a 10-14 day turnaround is do-able.What is required? An ideal keg setup would involve an extra fridge so that you can keep the product cold and on tap. You can still keg without a fridge, but remember, product stability and shelf life are greatly improved and maintained at cold temperatures. If you do not have the space or an extra fridge, find a solution that works for you. Necessity is the mother of invention - get creative and there are countless ways to store and serve kegged beer without refrigeration.

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.

Keglove Keg Coolers: Keep your keg of homebrew cold by insulating it with the KEGLOVE (“Keg Love”) neoprene sleeve. Insert the reusable Ice Blanket between the keg and the KEGLOVE to prolong the cooling process. In tests, the KEGLOVE Ice Blanket maintains beverage temperature over an 8-hour period of time, with virtually no change in temperature after 3 hours. The Ice Blanket’s liquid-filled pouches provide an even distribution of cold, create a thermal barrier to keep the cold

K e g g i n g E q u i p m e n tBeer 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 BatchesSince 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 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.

Tap into the infinite wisdom of our customers’ experience and knowledge.

DIY Draft BoxesBuild your own Draft Box: If you are a Do-it-yourself type person, we are now offering the components to build your own portable dispensing unit. Perfect if you have a funky picnic cooler that absolutely needs you to pour beer from it. All you do is drill a 7/8”-1” hole where you would like to mount the tap – 1 or 2 or more holes if they will fit, for more taps. Secure the 2” shank and attach a faucet. Then drill a second 7/8-1” hole near the bottom on the back of the cooler and install and tighten the wall coupling. This is your entry point for the beer. The inside is where you have two options. We offer single and double channel cold plates that are easily installed via tubing. A less expensive alternative is coiled copper tubing; just purchase a 50’ roll of food grade copper tubing, which is sold at most home improvement centers. Coil it (a ball lock keg works great for this) and place it inside the cooler. Then attach the ends appropriately to the inner couplings (with vinyl tubing clamped down or get creative with a flaring tool and create a pressure sound solution). Clean the lines before use, especially with copper as there may still be machining oil in the tubing. Adapt a Cornelius tubing line with a hex nut and tailpiece at the end and this will thread on to the entry point. Run beer through it, then add ice and you will have ice cold beer anywhere you go without having to cool all of the beer.

Cold Plates: Do-It-Yourself Draft box. Aluminum housing with internal 10’ stainless steel product line. Includes fittings and O-rings. You will also need an insulated box-style cooler, not included. Choose single or double line. Double line allows you to serve two beers at once. Cold plates measure 10”L x 15”W.

Chemicals and Cleaning Hand Pump Line Cleaner: Keeping those beer lines 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

pump to the faucet shank. Then simply pump 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.

BLC is the industry standard for cleaning out beer lines. This is a great all-purpose cleaner that may also be used to clean bottles and carboys. BLC is liquid, so it easily dissolves in warm or cold water. Use a dilution of 2 ounces for 5 gallons when cleaning bottles or carboys, or a half ounce per quart for cleaning beer line assemblies.

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.

K e g g i n g E q u i p m e n tCarbonation Accessories

Carbonating Lids: Carbonate your beer and soda in your soda kegs with precision in a flash with carbonation lids. The carbonation lid has its own ball lock gas-in post fitting that directs CO2 through the lid to the carbonation stone. The 5 gallon lids have enough

flexible 1/4” ID tubing to place the connected diffusion stone at the bottom of the keg. The 2.5-3 gallon lids have a shorter length of tubing to accommodate the shorter kegs. Midwest recommends the .5 diffusion stone when carbonating with straight CO2 gas. The 2 micron lid options are intended for use when diffusing Nitrogen/CO2 beer gas mixes into your beer. Lids come with instructions for use. 5 Gallon Ball Lock Keg, .5 Micron Stone:(KL001) (1 lb.). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $69.955 Gallon Ball Lock Keg, 2 Micron Stone:(KL002) (1 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $68.952.5 - 3 Gallon Ball Lock Keg, .5 Micron Stone:(KL003) (1 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $69.952.5 - 3 Gallon Ball Lock Keg, 2 Micron Stone:(KL004) (1 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $68.95

.5 Micron Carbonating Stone with 1/4” Barb: Carbonate your beer just like the pros. To use, attach 2’ of 1/4” tubing to the ‘gas-in’ dip tube inside the keg. The gas gets emitted through tiny pores in the stainless stone. The bubbles rise through the beer creating so much surface area contact between gas and liquid that the absorption rate is very rapid. Stones are 1/2” in diameter by 1” long. (5207) (1 lb.) . . . . . $21.95

2 Micron Stone: This stone has less resistance and therefore has an application where you don’t want to use tube clamps to attach it to tubing. Can be used to carbonate beer or create an oxygen system for your yeast. (5208) (1/2 lb.). . . . . . . . . $20.95

The Carbonator: This handy device allows you to enjoy fresh draft homebrew anywhere. Simply fill a plastic 2-liter soda bottle with beer and put the Carbonator cap on. Squeeze out the excess air and inject CO2 into the bottle to keep your beer carbonated and fresh. May also be used to force carbonate any beverage. (5205) (1 lb.) . . . . $16.95

Keg Tubing

Beer and Gas Line: All line is FDA rated, odorless, tasteless and rated for use as gas line. For easy installation, soak end of tubing in a glass of very hot water before attaching to barbed fittings. 1/4” beer line is recommended if used in lengths of 10-25 ft. 3/16” line is the best size for most home systems-5 ft. will give a great pour in the 8-14 psi range.Beer/Gas Line (3/16” ID): Provides proper restriction for runs shorter than 10 ft. 5 ft. recommended for foam-free pour.

Before adding your beer and carbonating, it’s a good idea to inspect your keg for leaks and learn how they work. It only takes a slight leak

to drain a full CO2 tank overnight, so make sure you don’t skip this step. Reconditioned kegs can be a bit fussy, e.g. some kegs seal more reliably with the lid oriented in a certain direction; some poppet valves will not seat properly on their own and may require a flick with your fingernail to seal, etc.

First, lift the pressure relief valve in the center of the lid and let all of the pressure out of the keg. This will allow you to lift the bail on the lid and remove it. Check out the innards of the keg - note the liquid dip tube that extends to the bottom of the keg. Match this up with the liquid post on the top of the keg. This post may also be marked “out” and is where you connect

the black ball lock disconnect with the beer line assembly. The other post is the gas-in and is easily identified by notches at the base of the post. There is also a short gas-in post inside the keg that delivers gas into the headspace of the keg.

The two most common gas leaks

occur with the poppet valves and the lid o-ring seal. The poppet valves are the spring valves located in the center of the posts. These valves will often leak if they are not properly seated - simply depress the valve slightly with your fingernail and allow it to pop back up.

With most kegs, the lid seals more reliably when oriented in a specific direction - with the bail facing front and the gas post to the right. If you notice any leaking around the lid o-ring, gently press down on the lid - this will usually allow the o-ring to seal. If it continues to leak, try orienting the lid in the opposite direction. Another trick is to lift the bail completely and let the pressure of the CO2 press the lid into place. Again, get to know the keg and its quirks. Most leaks are just a matter of a small adjustment.

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 to sanitize stainless steel - it will cause “pitting” of the surface.

• With the lid in place, connect the gas-in disconnect (gray) to the gas-in post on the keg, open the valve on the CO2 tank and adjust the gas regulator to 5-10 psi. This will seal the lid and allow to you shake the keg for a couple of minutes to ensure the sani-tizer comes in contact with all interior surfaces.

• Next, connect your beer line assembly to the liq-uid-out post and depress the picnic tap to let the sanitizer flow through the liquid dip tube and beer line assembly.

• After running the sanitizing solution through the system, disconnect the gray gas fitting from the keg post and pull up on the pressure relief valve on the keg lid to relieve the pressure. At this point you’ll be able to remove the lid, rinse (if not using a no-rinse sanitizer), and turn keg upside-down to drain.

Fruit Winemaking Add-On Kits

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-boy which is used during secondary fermentation. Having too much head space can oxidize the wine during extended aging and clarifying. For best results we would recommend trans-ferring the wine into a third fermenter for clarification. An additional 3 or 5 gallon fermenter would be needed for this stage. Example, 2-3 weeks in a plastic primary fermenter, 3-4 weeks in a secondary glass fermenter/carboy, and 1 to 4 months in another glass carboy for optimal clarification. once the wine has cleared to your satisfaction it is time to bottle the wine.

§ 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. 2 oz.

Wine ClarifiersWine clarifiers help wine clear in a timely manner. These clarifiers can cut the clearing process down to weeks rather than months.PecticEnzyme: 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 with bentonite, as this will negate the effect. 1 oz.

Acid AdjustmentThe 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. 2 oz.

§ 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.

MalicAcid: 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. 2 oz.

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. 10 gram package (8365) (1/8 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1.95100 gram package (8365L) (1 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$6.95Tanin Galalcool: Tannin Galalcool was specifically developed for addition to white wines because it is colorless.

OakCubes: Barrels used to be the 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.FrenchOakCubesMediumToast 3 oz. bag (8230) (1/4 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$7.501 lb. bag (8231) (1 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $36.95FrenchOakCubesMedium-HeavyToast3 oz. bag (8232) (1/4 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$7.501 lb. bag (8233) (1 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $36.95FrenchOakCubesHeavyToast3 oz. bag (8234) (1/4 lb.). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$7.501 lb. bag (8235) (1 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $36.95HungarianOakCubesMediumToast3 oz. bag (8236) (1/4 lb.). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $6.501 lb. bag (8237) (1 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$26.95HungarianOakCubesMedium-HeavyToast3 oz. bag (8238) (1/4 lb.). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $6.501 lb. bag (8239) (1 lb.). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$26.95HungarianOakCubesHeavyToast3 oz. bag (8242) (1/4 lb.). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $6.501 lb. bag (8243) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$26.95AmericanOakCubesMediumToast 3 oz. bag (8244) (1/4 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$3.951 lb. bag (8762) (1 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $19.95AmericanOakCubesMedium-HeavyToast 3 oz. bag (8246) (1/4 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$3.951 lb. bag (8247) (1 lb.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $19.95

§ Quick Tip: Stuck Fermentations: Always keep a few packs of dry yeast in the refrigerator in case of a stuck fermentation. Try increasing fermentation temp to 75ºF until fermentation starts. Vigorously mixing in yeast nutrient can restart fermentation. Make a starter: Mix 12 oz. juice, 4 oz. water, 2-3 Tablespoons of sugar and a packet of yeast to a wine bottle. Use a #2 stopper and airlock and wait for the yeast to take off. Once the yeast is active, add it to the stuck fermentor.

D-LacticAcidTestKit: 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.

pHTestKit: pH, one of the key parameters of interest to the winemaker, is an important factor in selecting the optimum time to harvest grapes. It is measured to see if adjustments need to be made prior to primary fermentation or before malolactic fermentation. It is measured when adding sulfur dioxide as a preservative since the effectiveness of this chemical varies dramatically as pH changes. And pH is controlled to optimize conditions for fining, for improving a wine’s resistance to microbiological instability, and in defining a wine’s taste balance. The pH test kit is optimized for enology use with a pH range from 3.0-4.0, and sensitivity to 0.1 pH unit. 10 tests per kit. (T1051) (1 lb) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$22.95

TitratableAcidityTestKit: Testing the titratable acidity is important in optimizing extraction of flavor components prior to fermentation. During processing, controlling TA improves fermentation.

Post fermentation, management of acidity levels leads to correct balance, and improves the efficacy of aging. Post fermentation monitoring of TA levels can also be used to follow undesirable changes caused by yeasts or bacteria. The range of the TA tests is from 4.0-11.0 g/L as tartaric acid. 10 tests per kit (T1052) (1 lb) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $19.95

ResidualSugarTestKit: Tests only for fructose and glucose sugars, the sugars reduced in primary fermentation. Reducing sugars in wine consist of hexoses (mainly glucose and fructose) and pentoses (mainly arabinose and xylose). The pentoses are not fermentable by wine yeasts. Since pentoses alone can vary from 0.4 to 2.0 g/L, the best measure of primary fermentation is the determination of glucose and fructose. The test range is 100 to 2,000 mg/ L. 10 tests per kit. (T1053) (1 lb). . . . . .$22.95

MalicAcidTestKit: Malo-lactic fermentation, the secondary fermentation of winemaking, is a method for reducing total titratable acidity by adjusting the relative concentration of

L-malic and L-lactic acids, softening the wine and allowing it to develop mellowness and full-bodiedness. This process also results in enhanced microbiological stability since one of the key nutrients of spoilage bacteria is removed. The malic acid kit has a range of 30-500 mg/L. 10 tests per kit. (T1054) (1 lb) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$26.95

L-LacticAcidTestKit: This kit is intended for measuring the L-lactic acid in wines to ensure that malolactic fermentation has begun. It is not always easy to determine if the appearance of bubbles following primary fermentation is the onset of actual MLF or merely a wine “outgassing” as it warms. The product, with a test range of 10-400 mg/L, can also be used to screen for high levels of contamination by lactic acid bacteria. 5 tests per kit. (T1055) (1 lb). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $17.95

FreeSO2TestKit: The sulfur dioxide present in must and wine is not all useful as a preservative. Some is bound to other chemical components, reducing its effectiveness as a preservative by

30-70%. Also, the degree of binding can change over time, affecting the ability of an adequate dose to continue providing its preservative properties. The effectiveness of sulfur dioxide as a preservative is also pH dependent, with low pH wines requiring lower levels and high pH wines requiring significantly greater concentrations to achieve the same effectiveness as in a typical wine with a pH of 3.3-3.4. The free SO2 kit is divided into a Low Range (0-40 ppm) and a High Range (40-130 ppm). 10 tests per kit. (T1056) (1 lb) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$26.95

FirstQualityCorks: 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.

Cork Treatment: Submerge corks for 1-2 hours in warm water with a sulphite solution or 1 crushed Campden tablet to sterilize. Never boil corks or

soak overnight, as this may weaken the cork.

ZorkClosures: Zorks are a brand new simple, reliable, leak-free way to “cork” your wine. They do not require a corker - you can seal the bottles by hand! You may want to use a rubber mallet to tap the closure into the bottle once started. To open the bottle, tear off the spiral strip and remove the tasting cork closure. No corkscrew required. No cork taint or broken corks! Preserves your wine for 4-5 years. Serves as a tasting cork once the seal is removed. Will not work with Screw Cap or Champagne wine bottles.

§ Quick Tip: Aging of kit wines. Although it is tempting to start drinking your wine after it is

bottled, your patience will be rewarded. As wine ages, astringent (bite) and fruity flavors will mellow and contribute to body and character. Basic wine

kit aging guidelines: red wine kits are best after 2-6 months and best consumed before 1-3 years. White wines are best after 1 – 6 months and best consumed before 1-2 years. See www.winexpert.

com for more tips on Winexpert Wine Kits.

§ 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.

These labels allow you to create and print your own text and graphics on the label. The text and graphics can be printed on to the label with any Laser, Inkjet or Bubble Jet printer.Most of these labels come in packs of 32 with 4 labels per sheet allowing you to create multiple labels per packet. Example; 8 Merlots, 8 Holiday Gifts, 8 Chablis and 8 Don and Sue’s Private Reserve labels. Each packet includes a test print page and detailed instructions.

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)

Bladder(Water)Press: The Bladder Press was designed to improve the traditional wooden-basket ratchet-style press and has quickly become the preferred method for juice extraction. A rubber bladder expands from the stem outward using water pressure-pressing the fruit against the sides of the cage. This style of pressing is much more subtle and softer on the fruit, not allowing bitter tannins from seeds and skins to be extracted from the cracked seeds. This is also a more efficient

method of pressing- cutting the cycle down to less than half the time a ratchet-style press would take. It’s also much faster, improving the load - squeeze - clean cycle to around 20 minutes from the 1-2 hours required for a traditional press. Water is recommended to inflate the press rather than air; no more than 30psi is needed for most fruits. The standard models have a stainless cage with painted lid and basin. Connect to your garden hose faucet and squeeze out the juice. Once you try it you’ll never return to a traditional basket press. The 40L Bladder Press basket is 13.4” wide x 18.9” high with a capacity of 10.57 gallons. The 80L Bladder Press basket is 16.5” wide x 22.83” high with a capacity of 21.13 gallons.40LBladderPress: (C2560) (105 lb.

Barrel Cleaning and SanitizingSodaAsh: Use 2 oz.. of Soda Ash for each 3 gallons of water. Fill the barrel 1/2 full with water as hot as you can get it.

Bung up the barrel tightly and roll it around to agitate it. Roll barrel several times during a 24 hour period. Then empty and rinse several times until all the solution has been washed out. 5 lb.

§ Quick Tip: How long should you wait to drink your wine? In many cases, juice and concentrate kits

taste good at bottling. However, we recommend waiting 3-6 months with red wines and 1-3 months

with white wines. Many winemakers will let their wines age over a year before tasting them. In the

meantime, make a few more batches.

Buon Vino Super Jet Filter: Motorized model with a self priming pump. Pumps fluid from one container, through three filter pads, to another container. Filters 80 gallons of wine per hour. Produces brilliant and sparkling homemade wine with little effort or mess. May also be used to rack your wine if you bypass the filter pads. As with the smaller Mini

Jet, filtering wine containing solids such as stems or oak chips will clog the filter and void the warranty. (1799) (25 lb.). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $324.95

Since 1995, Midwest Homebrewing and Winemaking Supplies has helped thousands of people get started in

the hobbies of homebrewing and wine-making. Our former customers include brew masters at brew pubs and micro breweries. We have customers who have won the national homebrewing contests. We also have customers who started with 20-40 grape vines who are now selling their wines nationally. Other Midwest vintners have won awards in interna-tional winemaking contests.

These are not the reasons most people get started in these hobbies. Most folks get started in these hobbies to try something new or to simply have fun. Regardless of your reasons, the bottom line is that you can make high quality beer and wine at home and save money while you’re at it!

The economics of brewing is simple. The price of an average 12 oz. bottle of beer is around 75 cents if you purchase a 12 or 24 pack. If you have developed a taste for micro brewed beers these are

going for $1.00 to $1.25 a bottle. The average cost of a 5 gallon recipe kit at Midwest sells for about $26. After capping 54 twelve ounce bottles you are looking at a cost of under 50 cents a bottle. After several weeks of aging, it is even more

satisfying to open that first beer knowing you did it for half the cost of an expensive micro brew. It is even more satisfying when you serve up your handcrafted homebrew to your friends and family and say, “I made this.”

Making wine at home is a huge savings compared to buying wine from a liquor store. Most juice and concentrate kits at Midwest range in price from $55 to $90. All of these kits make 6 gallons of wine. This equals 30 bottles of wine (750 ml). The average cost per bottle ends up being around $1.75 to $3.00. Now imagine drop-ping $120+ for two cases of Australian Shiraz you didn’t have the joy of making.

The wine is truly yours and you saved money. These are the same kits that other wine makers across North America have won awards in winemaking con-tests with. The quality of these wine kits is excellent.

With either hobby the possibilities are limitless. You get to make the beer or wine you like, and you get to make it the way you like it! Do you thirst for a hoppy pale ale in the summer? Make one and save money. Want a rich Russian Imperial Stout to keep you warm during the win-ter? Brew one and save money. Want to serve an Italian Pinot Grigio and a Merlot at your wedding recep-tion? Make them and save money! Brew beer, make wine, explore new styles, experiment like a mad scientist, and share it with friends and family. This could be the start of a life long hobby.

Make your own beer and wine at home!

WineEssenceOriginalEditionTastingKit: This unique and valuable kit allows you to speak about wine like a true professional. The kit is based upon international studies that have

identified nine principal components of wine. The kit includes these nine essences—sweet, bitter, sour, smooth, acetic, flowery, fruity, oak and tannin—individually bottled and carefully prepared so that the suggested dilution corresponds to their concentration in wine. You’ll also enjoy wine more and feel completely at ease when you’re ordering it in restaurants or discussing it with other wine enthusiasts.

Glassware, Serving and StorageThePerfectSommelier: The Perfect Sommelier improves virtually any wine in less than 30 minutes. It will bring out the maturity and subtlety that the vineyard intended. Replace the cork with the Sommeliers’ top and place the bottle of wine on the stand. In 30 minutes a remarkable change occurs due to the strong magnetic field created by The Perfect Sommelier. All wines will age and exhibit the same aging effect as being “cellared” for years, with red wines showing the most effect; due to the higher tannin levels.

The “aging” will make the wine less aggressive and more palatable with better nose, bouquet and roundness without changing the unique association with its vintage. This product works great on young home made wines or wine that did not meet your expectations.

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.

Whyroastyourowncoffeebeans?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. This makes for a bitter cup of coffee.

Home roasting can change all that.

It affords the home roaster the opportunity to control quality and to enjoy something that only a small group is and has been enjoying for decades, possibly centuries.
