    Has anyone recently ordered from Midwest?

    I placed an order last Tuesday and still do not have a projected ship / arrival date. I sent a message to customer service and waiting to hear back, but wanted to know how the company seems to be doing these days? I have ordered from them before but it's been several years. Thanks guys!

    Has anyone had success in growing hops in Missouri? If so what species?

    About 15 years ago I got a few of my favorite varieties. Built a pretty nice structure, planted them carefully and was super pumped to elevate the "homebrewing" aspect of the hobby. However.... they all died. I had no idea at the time that the climate in my state isn't ideal and can actually...

My fermentation stopped now and I am ready to bottle but I am trying to figure out if this is normal. AND trying to figure out how to keep them...

    Carb Tablets / Primary bottling, looking for some insights.

    I scoured the forums and came across some mixed opinions on using carb tablets. Both positive and negative.

    Can you use a refractometer for both OG and FG measurements?

    I just took a reading on my batch a few minutes ago. It's been about 9 days and airlock activity has stopped and the krausen has fallen. To my dismay my FG is WAY off the mark. My OG was 1.055 and currently it's at 1.024. I used my new refractometer that I got for XMAS for both readings. I...

    Secondary hops addition (pellets)

    Hi everyone! I am brewing my first IPA ever. I have never done a secondary addition of any sort. And I have actually been brewing on and off for a long time. I think it has to do with taking so long to like IPA's. ;) Anyhow my current recipe has me adding several ounces of Citra (pellet) hops...

    I can't handle that... home brew stuff

    So here I was in the Men's room cleaning up to go home and a new worker came in and heard me talking about beer with another co worker. He chimes in, "I love beer and plan on heading home and popping a cold one". I replied, "Oh really, awesome I love beer, what are you drinking?" He dries his...
