We started Batch Mead in 2019 to leave our Silicon Valley tech careers and pursue our real passion, MEAD! The delectable beverage that is a glass (or goblet) full of mead holds a long and illustrious history. And because of its rich history, it’s easy to place mead atop the brewing pedestal and think “Oh, the drink of the Gods? I could never make such a thing!”The basic ingredient for any mead is honey, yeast and water, though there can be many variations when other ingredients are added like spices, herbs and fruit. Perhaps THE original fermented beverage, mead predates both wine and beer. It was sipped by the ancient Greeks – who considered it to be the drink of the gods – and by the Romans, Vikings, Ehtiopians & many other civilizations. It was thought to be discovered by accident – when rainwater mixed with honey was spontaneously fermented by natural, wild yeasts. The result was something drinkable (and potent). Mead has likely been around for as long as honeybees have!

If you must dive deeper into your favorite craft, then weigh this particular kit against other advanced levels kits in this post and others in the market. Pros We believe mead is an experience, and our tasting room reflects all the notes of that ideal experience. This kit is the real deal. It’s advertised as a one-stop shop for everything you need to make your first batch of mead, and it looks to walk the walk (you’ll still need to get honey, of course). Something else worth mentioning, too - you’ll only ever be able to make one-gallon of mead with this kit. Not bad at all for your first go-round, but if you’re looking to mass produce later on, you’ll need a bigger carboy. 3. Mighty Mead Kit - The Everything You Need Honey Mead Kit (1/2 Gallon)

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. Once your mead is degassed, pour HALF of the DAY 2/DAY 5 yeast nutrients into a small bowl. Reserve the other half for step 11. Remove the rubber stopper. Scoop out about ¼ (one quarter) of the yeast nutrients from your bowl and VERY SLOWLY sprinkle into the carboy. Mead may immediately begin to foam – swirl the carboy to help it dissipate. Once the foam subsides, continue adding the rest of the DAY 2 yeast nutrients in TINY increments. This process may take 5+ minutes.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!
