Mead is made by fermenting honey with water and suitable yeast. A successful batch benefits from careful sanitation, enough yeast nutrition and patience during fermentation and maturation.
Getting started with mead making
- The Mangrove Jack’s Mead Starter Kit is the easiest route when beginning from scratch.
- Use Mangrove Jack’s M05 Mead Yeast for an appropriate standalone recipe.
- Mead Nutrient supports fermentation when used at the correct dosage.
- Choose honey you enjoy and follow a proven recipe for volume, strength and sweetness.
Allow fermentation to finish and the mead to clear and mature before judging the final balance.
