Mead Honey Wine Making Complete Starter Beginners Kit - Makes 6 Bottles 4.5L - Traditional Homebrew Set

Product Information

AWESOME GIFT FOR HOME BREWERS: Is there someone in your life who loves to brew their own, but you wonder whether they have the quality equipment they need for making accurate measurements? It was thought to be discovered by accident – when rainwater mixed with honey was spontaneously fermented by natural, wild yeasts. The major advantage of this kit is that the smaller bottles can be easily opened and judged on the basis of how well your mead has aged over time. Maybe just a little weaker compared to my usual mead yeast so you may want to get an extra mead yeast ready at hand. Although a very basic kit would be great for complete beginners, we, who were dying to experiment, were hoping for something a little bit exciting.

To degas, swirl and shake the carboy every few days for 2 full minutes, stopping as needed to let foam subside. Racking helps eliminate lees and other non-liquid ingredients that settle at the bottom of your must, clarifying your end product. Then stick half of the water you intend to use in the fridge, preferably doing this part the night before. Yeast initiates fermentation on your mead must while yeast nutrients ensure a healthy and complete fermentation.While testing other kits for this review, I gave this one to a homebrewing uncle who lives just right next door so he can help me brew using this one. Another factor to consider when selecting the right mead-making kit is the amount of mead you are brewing. This Ohio mead set includes a 2 gallon primary fermentation bucket, 1 gallon glass jug, mini auto siphon with 4′ of 5/16″ x 7/16″ tubing as well as hose clamp, triple scale hydrometer, screw cap with hole and 3 piece Economic lock airlock, Ferro meter, Campden tablets, 2 pieces of C-brite cleanser, Pasteur red yeast and a comprehensive instructional booklet.

Raw honey, yeast, yeast energizer, yeast nutrient, potassium sorbate, speedy bentonite, and one step cleanser.

For instance, even if you don’t wish to produce fruity mead, you should think about the texture, palate, roundedness, richness and style you’re aiming for. Assemble and fill the airlock with water (to the fill line) and gently insert it into the stopper – you don’t need to push hard. The cleaning brush simplifies the process of cleaning those beer bottles; the cloth keeps the hydrometer free of outside particles; and the canvas carry bag helps you keep everything in one place. Advanced Mixology carries a great selection of mead-making kits to suit all your home-brewing needs.

Of course, we also carry all of the mead making supplies you'll need, from fermenters to yeast nutrients.

If you prefer, you can do this just once on day 20 of fermentation (or 10 days before you plan to bottle). Make sure to choose the right yeasts to ensure you end up with your desired amount of residual sweetness. It’s pretty straightforward but if you’re a total beginner, you’d do well to read some articles first and basic “how tos” so you’d know what you’re working with.

We recommend degassing your mead during this stage of fermentation to ensure that the finished product is crystal clear and free of unwanted carbonation.
