Shepherd Made Mead Making Kit (Mead-Kit), Multicolored

Product Information

If you’re new to mead making and want to perfect your skills, this product is a good way to practice this craft. The instructions might be vague for newbies, but there are always video instructions for visual aid. To make sure that fermentation would go well, I’ve added more yeast and voila! To my relief, my cherry mead came out just fine. Put your mead in a warm, dark place. An attic, closet, or near your water heater are all good places. The ideal temperature is 75°F to 85°F. (The fermentation will take longer in cooler temperatures).

Produced as either a sweet or dry version, mead, like wine can be either red or white. This isdetermined by the ingredients added to the fermented honey. Mead can also come as a still or sparkling version. Once your mead is degassed, pour HALF of the DAY 2/DAY 5 yeast nutrients into a small bowl. Reserve the other half for step 11. Remove the rubber stopper. Scoop out about ¼ (one quarter) of the yeast nutrients from your bowl and VERY SLOWLY sprinkle into the carboy. Mead may immediately begin to foam – swirl the carboy to help it dissipate. Once the foam subsides, continue adding the rest of the DAY 2 yeast nutrients in TINY increments. This process may take 5+ minutes. With each mead making kit, you can produce approximately 5 wine bottle sized batches. Unleash your creativity and indulge in the ancient art of mead brewing with our mead making kit. Craft your own batch of mead using raw and local honey, and savour the satisfaction of creating a truly exceptional beverage. But as proven by this review (I know, we were surprised too!), there’s actually a kit for every level of experience.Most people like to store their mead bottles for around 6 months and even more. You can definitely do that if you want to experiment with the taste. How much honey do I need for 1 gallon of mead? If you live in the United States, then you’d be glad to know that homebrewing mead is perfectly legal in 50 states across the country. For bottling, you will need auto-siphon and tubing, bottling wand and some flip-top bottles, as many as you need. All you really need within this kit is your honey, your fruit flavor, and whatever spices you would like to incorporate into your mead brew. Who It’s Best For? Wait until foaming stops. Seal your carboy with the stopper and swirl again for 30 seconds to mix the nutrients into the mead.

I’ve been brewing for as long as I can remember now. I’ve also watched my parents brew their own meads and beers at home. So this mead-making kit by Must Bee is definitely not new to me. But for the sake of this roundup, I’ve got one so I can try it out one more time.

If it’s your first time making one, then kudos to you as you’re starting a very thrilling and satisfying journey ahead!
