Product details

With a more pronounced aroma and greater mouthfeel than dry mead but with lower residual sugar than a true sweet mead, medium or semi-sweet mead has a very justified broad appeal. Includes Wyeast 4783 Sweet White wine yeast. OG: 1.080-1.083. Time to make: 3 months minimum.

NB Artisanal Mead Kits. Based on Ames Farm amazing honey, these are simple, uncluttered traditional meads designed to let the honey shine through. Because the floral sources and composition of Ames Farm honey will change with the season and years, and are dependent on variables like hive placement and weather, every batch of these kits will be unique.

Each mead making kit is available in two sizes - three gallon or five gallon.

Semi sweet mead

👍👍

Fermented to dry

This started out 1.088 OG for me and fermented out to 1.003 in about 3 weeks. Was very dry at this stage. Did not taste semi-sweet at all and was quite harsh. After several weeks of aging, the harshness mellowed out significantly. I'm optimistic this will turn out well. Just a bit surprised by how dry it turned out, but I suppose 12 lbs of honey in 5 gallons will likely ferment completely. I love how easy (and cheap) this kit was as it included all the nutrients to add at various stages of fermentation. Not a big fan yet of the Wyeast that's included. My earlier mead using D47 seemed to produce a nicer semi-sweet mead.

Good stuff!

Hopefully the second batch will make it to bottling this time!

First time making Mead

Straightforward, easy to follow instructions. Everything listed in the kit was delivered. Now I just have to wait!

Hard to rate so far since it’s still in the primary. The kit itself was exactly as advertised and very easy to brew
