- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2025Style Name: Mead Making KitVerified PurchaseMy husband absolutely loved this mead-making kit! It turned out to be a fantastic bonding activity for us—we had so much fun going through the process together. Even if you’re not a mead enthusiast, it’s a fascinating and hands-on science experiment that anyone can enjoy. The kit is well put together, easy to follow, and makes the experience both educational and entertaining. Highly recommend for couples or anyone looking for a unique DIY project!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2024Style Name: Mead Making KitVerified PurchaseMy husband and I have decided to do some home brewing this holiday season and after researching on Amazon this was the company I decided to go with for starter kits. This company looked like one of the best options for brewing kits and I really like that they are based in the USA. This is my husbands birthday gift this year and he's enjoying it very much so far. The kit has everything you need and easy to follow instructions. We started our brew a few days ago and so far so good. This has already been so much fun in our house. If any of my family seems interested in our mead, I'm going to buy another one of these kits for them because this just makes such a fantastic gift. The box is so well designed, descriptive, and has many cute details. The equipment itself is thick and high quality. The bottle is beautiful with a cute design in the glass. For the price you are getting such a great product.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2023Style Name: Mead Making KitVerified PurchaseThe instructions are well written and easy to understand and it comes with everything you need. I saw a video that recommended this kit for beginners and I'm impressed with the quality. The only negative was that the airlock arrived with a crack. It still holds water but I was hoping to get multiple uses out of this kit.
UPDATE: Kyle, the founder of Craft a Brew reached out to me directly and asked if I was the person who gave the review about the cracked airlock because he could only see the first name on the review. When I said I was, he apologized and promptly shipped me a replacement. I can't say enough about this outstanding customer service! To track me down and offer a replacement was above and beyond. Most sellers would have been happy with the 4 star review but Kyle went out of the way to provide 5 star service and earned a life long customer in the process
- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024Style Name: Mead Making KitVerified PurchaseJust to be upfront: my first batch sucked - horribly - and I did follow the instructions. My second is great though. But I used different instructions for it (found on brighthelm dot org) that were much less interactive. The only thing I bought for my second try was more sanitizer, more yeast, an auto siphon (about $15), and a large stock pot ($15 from Wal-Mart if you don't already have one in the kitchen).
I would suggest adding the yeast and sanitizer for a 2nd batch to the kit for ease of use.
Here's what I think someone should be aware of to make this a much better experience:
- The internet is rife with how to guides on this topic, if you're ever in doubt or want to make it better
- An auto siphon will make your life easier, but not dramatically
- When the 4 weeks are up, it may not be done fermenting yet (my first batch failed here)
- You can use a sanitized 1 gallon pitcher to hold your brew while you clean/sanitize the demijohn, before placing it back to see if it carries on fermenting after the first 4 weeks
- Retail honeys can taste funny and/or bad - but there are ways to fix that, before you start the fermentation
- Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2025Style Name: Mead Making KitVerified PurchaseThis was my first time ever making anything remotely close to a fermented anything. I was very confused but the guide and video I watched online made it super easy to make. Reminded me when I learned how to make mozzarella. I started about over a month ago and aged mine for a total of 42 days. The recipe calls for 30 days but I had a party with some friends and let it age for longer. My biggest advice is be very cautious when doing the day 2 and day 5 steps. I accidentally added way too much day 2 packet and it bubbled over and caused a huge mess. They don't give instructions for calculating ABV, so pick up a hygrometer and get the starting measurement on day 1 and a final measurement on your bottling day to calculate the ABV. They also don't teach you how to siphon and provide a tube and staw and expect you to look online how to siphon. I recommend instead buying a separate siphon online that has a pump attached for easy and clean bottling.
The taste:
While I was expecting for this to taste super sweet and rich. It was quite the opposite. The yeast had eaten all of the sugars and thus produced a sour and bitter wine. The smell was of a rich beer and very pleasing. I think I loved the smell the most. It's not carbonated and it sat well in the gut. However after drinking a whole bottle I certainly was all giggles and hiccuping a lot. I felt like I was in a Tom and Jerry cartoon after they drink the wine.
Could I drink a whole bottle again? No. But a small glass goes tremendously well with a well equipped meal. My friends also certainly approved of the final product. Except for a few who don't particularly enjoy fermented beverages.
My ideas for next time is to do more research on different flavors. Adding things like orange peels or strawberries might spruce up this lovely drink.
Final note: Watching videos online and doing research about making mead and it's history was certainly eye opening and very helpful. Remember to stay clean and sanitary for success!

- Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2024Style Name: Mead Making KitVerified PurchaseAs advertised, this kit is a fun and easy way to get into fermenting. The equipment is reusable, so I definitely plan on trying something new after I bottle my first batch of mead in a few weeks. My only criticism is that the airlock that they provided was way more fragile than it should have been, as it cracked up upon me delicately putting it into my carboy, so I had to Frankenstein it up with scotch tape to make it stop leaking, but that did the trick. In any case, I highly recommend giving this a try!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great beginner Kit, but should include some extra steriliser
Style Name: Mead Making KitVerified PurchaseI tried making mead for the first time with this kit. The instruction manual is easy to understand and comes with a video tutorial.
It really comes with everything you need, but I wish they would include an extra packet of sterilising solution just in case.
I unfortunately ended up messing up my mead due to user error but am not faulting the product for that.
I’ll be trying again soon and am hopeful to get a good batch of mead next time.
