Overview
A first-time mead maker gets a clear glass jug, a rubber stopper, airlocks, yeast and nutrient in a single set. The user supplies the honey and water and follows the directions.
Everything that is hard to source comes together, from the jar to the yeast. The honey is the one input to buy separately. The description says the mead is ready to drink quickly but improves with age.
Who it's for
Beginners trying mead on a small scale who want the equipment and yeast in one box. Experienced brewers with their own jars, or anyone expecting the honey in the kit, will gain little from the extra pieces.
Pros and cons
- Clear glass jar shows fermentation
- Several airlocks included
- Yeast and nutrient provided
- Small, easy-to-store batch size
- Honey not included
- Small one gallon batch only
- Directions not detailed in listing
Performance notes
Yeast ferments the sugars into mead, and the airlock lets carbon dioxide out while blocking air. The clear jar shows activity. Flavor develops further as the batch rests.
