General questions
Yes. As of 2013 it is legal in all 50 states!
Generally speaking, the answer is no to this one, although every state has different laws.
Again, this differs per state, but it is normally capped at 200 gallons.
Actually, no. Homebrewers have very weird taste buds and only make beer that they like and no one else can drink (sarcasm completely intended). Next question!
No, but there is a good chance you’ll make a mess. Your significant other may consider the mess a “blow up” but that’s more in the figurative sense.

No. Our beer kits come with all the grains, hops, and extract (if doing extract brewing) you’ll need, but the yeast must be purchased separately. We have suggested yeasts for each of our beer kits that we can help you with, and if ordering on the web, you can simply select which yeast you want from the actual product page of the beer kit.
Yes indeed! You can order fractional quantities of any of the grain we sell (base and specialty). We measure grain in pounds so when you add the item to the cart, just make sure the number you put in is in pounds. For example, if your recipe calls for 4 oz. of a type of grain, you would enter .25
Our return policy can be summed up in two words: No Hassle. If you live in the area just stop by our store and we can help you out. If you can’t make it into the store, just contact us and we’ll get you squared away.
online shopping questions
We use a mix of UPS, FedEx, and the Post Office to ship our products to you. Whichever one is the best mix of cost and speed! If you need us to use a particular carrier due to your location, we can accommodate, but there may be additional shipping charges.
Yeah, that’s a bit confusing, but we can’t really change it! Just go ahead and put in your normal shipping address, but choose the “In-Store Pickup” option. We’ll make sure not to send it out, and it’ll be here waiting for you at the store.
No need to panic. Relax. Don’t worry. Have a homebrew! After that, head on over to our Contact Page and get ahold of us (phone or email – whatever works best for you), and we’ll get you straightened away.
