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

Product Information

Now this kit is for those of you who want to hone their mead or wine making skills more and take it to the next level…or for an experienced brewing junkie who just needs new equipment or a test jar.

While the taste and quality of wine dramatically change with age and season, mead is supposed to stay fairly consistent through it all, just like its cousin the beer! How long does it take to brew 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. Because I was planning to keep this one for myself, I’ve tested this starter kit by HomeBrewStuff at home by making a cherry mead. 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.

This kit came on the mail with another Ohio kit so the unboxing and inspecting of the contents funnily became something like a book club meeting. If you’re planning to make more homebrewed spirits at home in the future like me, this kit will be a really handy and useful investment with all its equipment and accessories. It also helped that the wildflower honey it came with, which came from Idaho near Boise, is surprisingly good. We’re able to make mead with my prefered tiny bit of floral notes in it! Aside from the recipe ideas, this kit doesn’t come with honey so you get to decide what honey you’d like to use for your mead. This deluxe kit includes Oak Chips, Isinglass, and Potassium Sorbate to give your mead a clearer appearance, body, and a longer shelf life.

Is it legal to brew mead?

If you’re having a hard time choosing, we recommend the HomeBrewStuff One Gallon Nano-Meadery Deluxe Mead Making Kit . Aside from the necessary tools, it already includes honey and other ingredients that enhance the flavor for a more delicious and satisfying finished product. As I said earlier, there are endless recipes out there. Some will seem complex, some more simple. But most of them follow the same principles. These are the steps for making a simple, still mead:
