The Mead Making Set with Journal is for you if you have a traditional glass demijohn and wine making equipment, and you fancy making Mead. We supply other kits including a PET demijohn or a food grade bucket, but this set is designed for brewers who already have basic equipment and a demijohn.
The Mead Making Set includes:
- 1 traditional cork bung, prebored with a hole, designed to fit in the neck of a standard 1 gallon (4.5 litre) glass demijohn
- 1 bubbler airlock with loose fitting cap to keep dust out, the neck of which fits exactly into the bored hole of the bung to create a seal
- 1 stick-on thermometer
- 1 9g sachet of Mangrove Jack's MO5 Mead Yeast
- 1 12g sachet of Mangrove Jack's Mead Nutrient
- 6 reusable corks with white rubber tops which will fit in the neck of recycled standard bottles previously fitted with corks (not screw caps)
- 1 kraft tag. We use these for recording each step and date when we make our mead, then keep it tied to the demijohn neck
- An Almost Off Grid Mead journal giving an overview of Mead Making, hints and tips, 5 mead recipes and lined pages to record your own records and recipes.
Please note that you will need to sterilise your equipment with either a proprietary homebrew cleaner/steriliser or Muntons steriliser also works. Fermenting vessel (such as bucket or demijohn), steriliser, mead ingredients (other than yeast and yeast nutrient), hydrometer, syphon and bottles are not included - this kit assumes you already have most of the equipment you need to get started.
