The First Batch Physical Kit — Coming Later

We're not selling a kit yet. Here's why that's a good thing.

We've been asked about a physical starter kit — a box with the fermentation vessel, airlock, hydrometer, sanitizer, yeast, and nutrients you need to make your first gallon of mead. We want to build one. But we're not going to rush it.

Before we take anyone's money for a physical kit, we need to:

• Identify and test supplier options for every item in the kit
• Verify packaging, shipping weights, and actual landed costs
• Make sure the contents actually match our beginner guide — step for step
• Have a real, honest ship date we can stand behind

Selling a kit before all of that is done is how stores end up with unhappy customers, delayed orders, and refund headaches. That's not how we want to start.

What the kit would include (tentatively)

• 1-gallon glass fermentation vessel
• Rubber stopper + airlock
• Hydrometer
• Sanitizer packet
• Beginner-appropriate yeast
• Yeast nutrient
• Printed First Batch guide (the same content as our digital guide)
• Honey not included — local sourcing is better and we can't guarantee quality in transit

If you'd like to be notified when the kit is ready — and help us understand what you most want included — add your email below. This is a waitlist only. You will not be charged anything. There is no paid preorder.

To join: Send us an email at the address on our Contact page with the subject line Kit Waitlist. Tell us: what's most important to you in a beginner kit? Honey included or not? Glass or plastic vessel? We read every response.

We'll reach out to waitlist members first when the kit is ready to order.
