That would make a difference. If you do pick one up let us know how it turns out. I don't think Midwest and Northern Brewer are too integrated yet. Maybe just for website order shipping. Case in point, I wanted a specific 10 gallon Kettle from the Minneapolis Northern Brewer and they said they...

I haven't tried there but I have purchased many from Midwest supplies which is also in St Louis Park at 5825 Excelsior Blvd and has a very large store. As long as they have fresh ingredients I am sure kits from Brew and Grow would be fine too. But also check out Midwest Supplies they have a...

Yeah they will also lose money on alcohol taxes when they pull these from the shelves and the Miller-Coors drinkers who won't drink a substitute don't buy. Wisconsin will be raking in more Minnesota alcohol tax money not just on Sunday's now.

If you have a compatible stove you can also buy a canning element for your electric stove that is often higher wattage. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/stove-top-brewing-w-2600w-canning-element-110924/ I did this about 3 years ago in my last apartment and it works fine in my new apartment too...

Haha, when talking about the Free the Hops organization they said "They are young people who came in from like Germany, in there Mercedes" Wow these people don't research anything they talk about do they?

If you are going through St Paul the Summit brewery tour is alright but you have to sign up ahead of time, it is free though and you get 2 small glasses of beer.

I brewed 5 gal of Oktoberfest Marzen on Saturday
