Craft A Brew - Mead Making Kit – Reusable Make Your Own Mead Kit – Yields 1 Gallon of Mead

A great gift set (the required parts are available cheaper from this supplier but the box is perfect for a special present!) I also reached out to their customer support and received a swift friendly response, cannot fault the company. My mead is currently brewing but seems to be going well!

Clear and concise instructions,only downside is the waiting

This kit has everything you need to get started in mead/wine making and it is a very easy and simple introduction - The great thing is a lot of the equipment is completely reusable for any future brews

It's ok. You get what you need (apart from main ingredients) with instructions, but you can save a lot of money by going elsewhere.

How to booklet is fairly helpful, don't like the fact that it advertises other products in it as steps to complete the mead making process, feels bad after spending 140 + euros. Carboy cracked after I completed the first batch when I poured hot water into it, just feels cheap, when it wasn't, at all. You are better off just getting all the constuent parts of this kit separately.

Très déçu du produit, Après avoir bien suivi les instructions, mon hydromel sent le vinaigre … donc 3kg de miel à mettre à la poubelle…

This was my first time ever making anything remotely close to a fermented anything. I was very confused but the guide and video I watched online made it super easy to make. Reminded me when I learned how to make mozzarella. I started about over a month ago and aged mine for a total of 42 days. The recipe calls for 30 days but I had a party with some friends and let it age for longer. My biggest advice is be very cautious when doing the day 2 and day 5 steps. I accidentally added way too much day 2 packet and it bubbled over and caused a huge mess. They don't give instructions for calculating ABV, so pick up a hygrometer and get the starting measurement on day 1 and a final measurement on your bottling day to calculate the ABV. They also don't teach you how to siphon and provide a tube and staw and expect you to look online how to siphon. I recommend instead buying a separate siphon online that has a pump attached for easy and clean bottling. The taste: While I was expecting for this to taste super sweet and rich. It was quite the opposite. The yeast had eaten all of the sugars and thus produced a sour and bitter wine. The smell was of a rich beer and very pleasing. I think I loved the smell the most. It's not carbonated and it sat well in the gut. However after drinking a whole bottle I certainly was all giggles and hiccuping a lot. I felt like I was in a Tom and Jerry cartoon after they drink the wine. Could I drink a whole bottle again? No. But a small glass goes tremendously well with a well equipped meal. My friends also certainly approved of the final product. Except for a few who don't particularly enjoy fermented beverages. My ideas for next time is to do more research on different flavors. Adding things like orange peels or strawberries might spruce up this lovely drink. Final note: Watching videos online and doing research about making mead and it's history was certainly eye opening and very helpful. Remember to stay clean and sanitary for success!

Es war ein Geschenk und ist sehr gut angekommen. Es wurde auch gleich ausprobiert. Einfach erklärt und alles beisammen, nur noch den Honig aussuchen und los geht's.

Great starter kit. Made my first batch of mead as soon as I received this. A must for beginners of home winemaking. 100% recommendation
