Mead is the original fermented beverage, predating wine or beer. Our Homemade Mead Kit helps you craft your own "honey wine" in just 4 weeks. Ready to brew mead and get buzzed?

Making mead with our Mead Starter Kit is as simple as combining honey, water, and yeast. Drink your honey mead out of a goblet or a horn to channel the Vikings and ancient Romans who considered honey wine to be the "nectar of the gods."

This Mead Brewing Kit produces a naturally semi-dry honey wine. If you want to craft a sweeter mead, try our Backsweetening Mead Kit. This ingredient kit helps you add sweetness to your mead that won't ferment out.Β 

If you need honey for making mead choose one of our Mead Kit Bundles. A Mead Kit Bundle includes a 40 oz bottle of honey, which is exactly what you need to ferment 1 gallon of mead. Choose from a rotating Mead Maker’s selection of honey varieties:

  • Orange Blossom Honey: Β  Sweet, flowery & citrusy - this renowned honey variety is a mead maker favorite. Notes of white flower and zesty orange make for a delicious and complex mead. This straw colored honey is harvested from bees that pollinate Citrus Γ— sinensis (sweet orange or navel orange). Orange Blossom Honey is always best sourced from trusted farms, as this covetable variety is often artificially flavored. This honey is tested for Methyl anthranilate, the natural compound that gives orange blossom its flavor, to ensure authenticity.
  • Wildflower Honey: The name wildflower is given to honey harvested from bees that pollinate multiple flowers. The main floral sources for our wildflower honey are naturally occurring wildflowers in South Brazil. This wildflower honey for mead making is reddish amber in color with herbal, floral and sweet notes, perfect for a simple mead or a fruited mead!
  • Hawaiian Flower Honey: Hawaiian Flower honey has an incredibly unique floral flavor. It’s made from the nectar of Hawaiian tropical wildflowers on The Big Island, like hibiscus, plumeria & ginger. This is a truly special honey for mead making.Β
