Ultimate 1-Gallon Mead Kit – Wildflower Honey
Ultimate 1-Gallon Mead Kit - Wildflower Honey
This is the most complete 1-gallon traditional mead kit in our current lineup. It includes 3 lb of Wildflower honey, Lalvin 71B yeast, pre-portioned Go-Ferm and Fermaid O nutrients, two glass fermenters, cleaner, sanitizer, a mini auto-siphon, and transfer tubing.
The two-fermenter setup matters. You can start fermentation in one jug, then rack the mead to the second jug once fermentation is winding down so it can clear off the sediment before bottling.

Bottles, closures, and packaging supplies are sold separately. If you plan to backsweeten, stabilize the finished mead first; adding honey or sugar to bottled mead without stabilization can restart fermentation and create dangerous pressure.
