Your Destination for the Perfect Brewing Supplies: Beer, Wine, Cheese and More
PBW is a buffered alkaline detergent that has been proven to be more than an effective substitute for caustic soda cleaners. Because of its unique formulation of buffers and mild alkalis, it is safe on skin as well as soft metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and on plastics. PBW uses active oxygen to penetrate carbon or protein soils and is not effected by hard water. The oxygen also helps in reducing biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxgen demand (COD) in wastewater, which is an added environmental benefit. PBW has been formulated as a clean in place (CIP) cleaner and is very effective in removing protein soils found on brew kettles, fermenters, conditioning tanks, filters and all packaging areas. The concentrations to remove these soils are typically in the 1% range. However, due to soil and water conditions this concentration will vary. To help in hard water areas PBW has been formulated with enough chelators to tolerate hard water. PBW is an excellent choice as a soak cleaner because it does not require excessive heat as do most caustic based cleaners.
Every employee, along with the owner especially, is not only knowledgeable but kind and helpful. I am a total amateur and this company made me feel welcome and excited to get back home and start brewing.
I've lived and brewed in many cities across the country, and Perfect Brewing has the best inventory and most knowledgeable and helpful people ever!
I have been ordering their kits for brewing beer since I started back in March 2020. I have never had a bad tasting kit. They have even given suggestions and been extremely helpful. I highly recommend them for any of your brewing or wine-making needs. Keep up the great work.

Shop Owner
Perfect Brewing Supply was founded many moons ago in a warehouse not so far away, providing equipment and ingredients by mail only. Shortly after, a shop was set up in Libertyville with a storefront for all to visit and talk to fellow homebrewers about their craft. Perfect Brewing Supply has added and adapted over the years, but one thing still remains the same: our commitment to being a great resource for knowledge, equipment, and ingredients for all your fermentation dreams and goals.
We have added many new things to our beer supply over the years. Things such as wine, cheese, soda, cider, coffee, and almost anything fermentable. We started offering many new services to the homebrew world. We added many shiny pieces of equipment available to our customers to rent. Some of these items include a canner (canned home brew?!), crusher / destemmer (for wine), pressing equipment for your wine or other fruits. We even added a space that you can ferment and lager your beer here at the shop in a temperature controlled environment.
Many of our customers and previous employees have gone on to start their own brewery or work for one. Together we can help you with your dream of taking your hobby to the next level. Many of our employees have completed a course at the prestigious Siebel Institute here in Chicago. With that we have the background to answer all of your fermentation questions.
It all starts with #greatfriendsbringhomebrew
