Meadmaking Starter Kit

$104.95
This kit gives you all the hardware you need to make 5-gallons of delicious honey mead EXCEPT a capper or corker.  Some people want to cap mead in beer bottles and some people want to cork mead in wine bottles, so we give both options.  The kit includes:
 
  • an 8-gallon plastic primary fermenter with calibrated volume marks and an air-tight lid
  • a 5-gallon non-ported (Type 1 plastic) Better Bottle carboy, used as a secondary aging tank
  • an airlock
  • a rubber stopper
  • a triple-scale hydrometer for measuring density, specific gravity and alcohol
  • a racking cane/automatic siphon starter combo tool
  • 6 feet of siphon tubing
  • a hose clamp for controlling the siphoning flow rate
  • a spring-loaded bottle filler
  • a stick-on exterior thermometer (for your primary fermenter)
  • 2 ounces of Potassium Metabisulfite (to keep the mead clean and oxygen free)
  • 4 ounce jar of Star San Sanitizer (for keeping the equipment clean and bacterial free)
  • "The Compleat Meadmaker" - the bible of Meadmaking
