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

Product Information

This one came last but certainly not the least. If anything, I think this unit is quite underrated. It’s the parts that you’re not involved that take time. I’m talking about the fermentation process, of course. Hydrometer - This is what you use to measure the density of your must and the actual mead. Must is the honey and water mixture before adding the yeast. Comparing the must and mead’s measurements would determine the alcohol content of the mead. You’ll want something that’s cheap enough not to make you regret buying it in case things don’t work out.

Mixing Pot - you can still make your mead without this, but it would be less of a hassle if you dissolve your honey and water in a mixing pot rather than a carboy. If it’s your first time making one, then kudos to you as you’re starting a very thrilling and satisfying journey ahead! 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.

Furthermore, every household is limited to 200 gallons of homebrew mead per year. That’s almost an indulgence if you ask me. I mean, who’d make 200 gallons of mead at home, anyway? Choosing the best mead making kit that fits your needs is vital. It should not be overlooked as this will contribute to the drink’s results and act as your partner throughout the mead making process.

Pro tip: Of course you can definitely use more. More honey means stronger alcohol content, if that’s what you’re going for. In that case, you’d better just keep your moonshines to yourself because what’s illegal is selling, trading and bartering your mead for goods or services. Like wine bottles, you need to store your unopened mead somewhere that no sunlight can reach, and the area needs to be dry and cool. And if you plan to keep mead for some time, it's best if you position them on their side. This way, the mead can make the cork stay moist and avoid it from deteriorating.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. When fermentation stops and the specific gravity reaches 1.000 or less syphon the mead off the sediment into another sterilised demijohn and add 1 crushed campden tablet. This deluxe kit includes Oak Chips, Isinglass, and Potassium Sorbate to give your mead a clearer appearance, body, and a longer shelf life. Other than that, I was as satisfied as when I first used this. Imagine not having to go from store to store for the equipment and accessories, especially if you’re a newbie who barely knows anything about buying these mead equipment!
