Introducing the Ultimate Mead Making Kit Dive into the ancient art of mead making with our all-in-one 5L Mead Making Kit. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced home brewer, this Mead Making kit has everything you need to craft delicious honey mead from the comfort of your home — no extra purchases required. What’s Included in Your Mead Making Kit 1. Glass Demijohn Bottle (5L) with Handle — The centrepiece of your kit. This durable 5-litre glass fermenter lets you watch the fermentation process in action. The built-in handle makes it easy to move. 2. Lid or Swing Clip & Silicone Bung with Hole — Fits snugly onto the demijohn, allowing CO2 to escape while keeping contaminants out. Essential for a clean, healthy ferment. 3. Airlock (Senior or S-Type) — Lets carbon dioxide escape during fermentation while blocking oxygen and bacteria. You’ll receive either a senior airlock or S-type depending on current stock. 4. Stick-On Thermometer — Temperature control is critical for good mead. This stick-on strip lets you monitor your fermentation temperature at a glance. 5. Hydrometer — Measure your mead’s specific gravity to track fermentation progress and know exactly when it’s ready to bottle. 6. Specialist Mead Yeast (M05) — Mangrove Jack’s M05 is specifically selected for honey fermentation, producing rich, complex flavours with high alcohol tolerance. Some kits may include EC-1118 as an alternative. 7. Yeast Nutrient — Honey alone lacks some nutrients yeast needs. This specialised nutrient ensures a vigorous, complete fermentation and a well-balanced final product. 8. No-Rinse Sanitiser — Cleanliness is everything in brewing. Our no-rinse sanitiser makes it quick and easy to sterilise all your equipment before use. 9. Step-by-Step Instruction Manual — Clear, beginner-friendly instructions walk you through the entire process from sanitising to bottling. No guesswork involved. 10. Easy Start Mini Siphon — Transfer your finished mead into bottles with minimal oxidation, preserving flavour and clarity. Looking for a bigger batch?

Mead is one of the world’s oldest alcoholic drinks often called the “nectar of the gods.” By brewing your own, you’re continuing a tradition that dates back thousands of years, while creating something genuinely delicious to share with friends and family. Unlike beer or wine, mead is surprisingly simple to make. With this Mead Making kit, your first batch can be fermenting within an hour of opening the box. Add your own honey (we recommend Australian raw honey for the best flavour), follow the instructions, and in a few weeks you’ll have 5 litres of handcrafted mead ready to enjoy. Not sure where to start? Follow our step-by-step mead recipe — it’s designed to work perfectly with this kit. Experiment with Flavours Once you’ve mastered a classic honey mead, the possibilities are endless. Try adding fruits to make a melomel, spices for a metheglin, or Australian native botanicals for something truly unique. Each batch is an opportunity to create something new. The Perfect Gift for Home Brewers Looking for a unique gift? This Mead Making Kit is ideal for anyone interested in home brewing, fermentation, or food crafts. Everything is included just add honey and water. Perfect for birthdays, Christmas, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day or any occasion.
