This recipe kit makes a light, refreshing mead. Hydromel literally means "Honey Water" in Greek. The term "hydromel" is a way of describing the low strength of alcohol in this mead kit. This kit is a very basic introduction to mead. Estimated alcohol is 5-7%. A perfect choice to carbonate in the bottle or kegs. Dry Yeast Recommendation: DV10: Strong and clean, stays true to original honey's flavours and aromas. QA23: Aromatic / Floral, great bouquet (a bit more lean and focused than R2) W15: Great aromatic profile (true to the honey source) and heavy mouthfeel. Includes our simple, step-by-step two page instructions, which are all you will need to make up this kit. However, for those who want to dig a bit deeper into mead making check out our 10 page Guide to Mead Making
