Mead Knowledge :
The ancient Greeks gave the name Ambrosia to mead. It was also called Nectar. Some of the ancients believed it was the drink of the gods, and was thought to descend from the Heavens as dew. Then it would be gathered in by the bees. Ancient Greeks believed mead to have magical and sacred properties. The Greeks believed that mead would prolong life, bestow health, strength, virility, wit and poetry. The bees themselves, we are told by Virgil’s Georgics are driven to the sky to honor the goddess Aphrodite. And, the prophetess’ at Delphi are suspected of drinking mead made from a honey from slightly toxic plants in order to induce their prophetic states, and visions of the future.

Overall pretty good
Before I'd ordered this item, I had done a bit of looking around on the net for some simple recipes and used those to get comfortable with making Mead, which is good because the directions that came with this were highly confusing, and 80% of what the directions called for never even showed up. BUT I treated this just like the other Mead I have made, and so far it's turned out just fine.
AIH Note: please feel free to contact our customer support team if anything is missing from your order. Thank you!

Nice Kit
I bought this kit when it was on sale. It was a nice price for a good honey, which I augmented with black currant wine base (product 24-3330) and about 10 #s blueberries. Great results. I consider myself a novice mead maker but a very experienced homebrewer. This is the first mead kit I've ever bought, and although I altered the kit considerably, I was impressed with the easy instructions and the convenient packaging of k-meta, go-ferm, yeast nutrient, and k-sorbate. A real newbie should be able to do all right with this.

Q:
Im looking at the sweet honey to get to make mead. But I read that honey loses its sweetness during the fermentation process. Will this still be sweet after? Or do i have to add more honey after the process to make and keep it sweet
Asked by:
Amber Sherwood
- 3/10/2020
A:
Fermentation does covert the sugars in the honey to alcohol and would reduce sweetness the more sugar the yeast converts. You can stabilize the mess after fermentation to back-sweeten with honey to the sweetness you prefer

Q:
I just received this kit and the yeast nutrient listed in the description seems to be 3 different types. Listed are Go-Ferm, Fermaid K, and "Yeast Nutrient". I did a search for Yeast Nutrient and there are a couple you offer. I'd like to bulk order the nutrients for future batches but am not sure which one to get.
Asked by:
Joe Robinson
- 1/21/2020
A:
The standard yeast nutrient as mentioned in the kit is DAP or just listed as "yeast Nutrient"on our site Part ID 24-6368A

Q:
Can you please tell me what kind of yeast I need to use with a mead recipe, if I need an alcohol boost, etc.? I would like to get a mead ingredient kit for my husband for Christmas and would like it to be a surprise. I sent this question in several days ago, but have not yet heard back from anyone. Thank you! Annie Elis
Asked by:
Annie Elis
- 12/11/2018
A:
if giving as a gift, adding the dry yeast pack using the Cotes De Blanc option. This would not require an ice pack to be added since it is shelf stable. The yeast pack add-on would be the only requirement from the drop downs he would need in addition to his fermenting equipment to produce the batch of mead when it arrives. We can be reached at 313-277-2739 Ext 1 to go over further questions before ordering as needed
