Artisanal Standard Dry Mead Making Kit

Artisanal Standard Dry Mead Making Kit

Artisanal Standard Dry Mead is a crisp, refined expression of honey at its most delicate. Fermented to full dryness with Wyeast 4021 Champagne Yeast, this mead offers a clean, subtle character and a naturally wine-like profile. Still, it’s soft and elegant — carbonated, it becomes bright and effervescent, reminiscent of sparkling wine or brut cider. Crafted with Ames Farm honey, every batch reflects the unique terroir of the hives, changing with the season, floral sources, and weather. A minimalist, traditional mead designed to showcase honey in its purest, most nuanced form.
