CO2 Update
I have been reading about breweries encountering CO2 shortages. Homebrewers need to be ready too. I have written a page about priming your kegs. While you will still need CO2 for purging, sealing & pushing your beer, priming will help you to stretch out the CO2 you have. Please read this, and as always, Vermont Homebrew will do our best to help you get that tasty homebrew into your glass. Anne

Gifts for brewers
If anyone is looking for present ideas for brewers, we can help:
Gift certificates! Please call us or stop in. We can write one up in any amount. We can also email a printable .pdf if you aren't in our neighborhood.
We have a new supply of reconditioned 5 gallon kegs. We can put a keg system together for a homebrewer that is tired of bottling. Can also be used for homemade seltzer too!
Boxed recipes: For new & experienced extract brewers. We have a variety of recipes all boxed up and ready to go. Your brewer will get malt extract, specialty grains, hops, yeast, a bag to steep the grains, priming sugar and caps. You can pick something you know they like or maybe something you'd like them to brew for you!
Cool flip top bottles
A wine kit for 30 bottles of delicious varietal wine
Fruit purees for wine, cider or beer
19 different herbs & spices
Sanitizer (only a brewer would get excited about this!)
Spring/Summer 2022 COVID Update:
Curbside or Inside? Both are available!
Mask mandates for indoor retail have been lifted in Winooski. We are still at figuring out what that means for us. We are still in contact with vulnerable people. If you, like us, are concerned about possibly passing the virus to very young, very old, or immuno-compromised loved ones, then please wear a mask. I still plan to but I can see that more folks are deciding not to. If you have a mask and wear it inside, please know that we really appreciate it. We want to help you make great homebrew. We don't want to have unpleasant experiences with you.
The door is open!
If it's at all possible to call in your order, please do. We can minimize your time in the store
Large all-grain orders are great to have called in whenever possible. We can crush when it's quiet and text when it's ready. Otherwise, you are always welcome to come in just like the old days.
Curbside procedure (You can also have someone else do the pick-up for you):
Just give us a call, and we will put your order together. (802) 655-2070
Provide credit card information over the phone, so you don’t even have to enter the store. Or wait until you get here to pay. Whichever works for you.
Come inside, we'll have everything ready.
We accept cash, cards and checks. If you are spending less than $5, we appreciate cash. Thank you!
Inside:
Inside procedure:
Please wear a mask. We will, too!
Hand sanitizer is available.
Please keep a safe 6' distance apart.
We will crush your grain and pull hops & yeast for you.
Please continue to bring in your malt buckets for refills. If you want to bring in a shopping bag, please do.
If you are spending $5 or less, we still prefer cash.
Thank you for your patience and wonderful attitudes throughout these changes.
Our New Email
As part of an ongoing project to improve back of the house tech, we have a new email. Almost like the old one:
(This is my anti-spammer strategy. A new inbox without any spam is a real delight!) Update: this seems to be working. Way less spam in the inbox. Woot!
April 2022
Here's news that I don't want to share with you all. Bear passed away this week. It was very sudden and he passed gently. He was such an important part of Vermont Homebrew. From "greeting" the brewers, grunting like a little pig when he saw the little brewers, to enjoying all the tasty treats you shared with him. He was convinced he was a big dog in stature. He will be missed everyday here and at home. Thanks to all the brewers who stopped to pet him and enjoy his spirit.
Take care and thanks again for all the support and smiles you share with us,
Anne, Terry & Matt 🐾

This is a work in progress! Hopefully it will become a helpful place for you to look, find, and learn about Vermont Homebrew Supply and how we can help you.
Thanks for your continued support and smiles during the last year. I think I speak for all of us homebrewers when I say, at the end of a long day, a homebrew tastes pretty good.
