*Mead Liqueur*
The Drink of the Gods, mead has a long history. It may well be the oldest recorded fermented beverage. Mead figures prominently in the tales of Scandinavia and the Vikings. The Celts were drinking it in 500 A.D. There are indications that the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Ethiopians, Scandinavians, Assyrian, Incas and Aztec used mead, both in festivals and as a religious drink. Honey, and by association, mead, have been attributed with such powers as that of an aphrodisiac, and it has been said in times gone by that it imbues the drinker with attributes such as life, wisdom, courage and strength. Enjoy Mead Liqueur (also known as Ambrosia)- a true descendant of the Drink of the Gods.
Please note: Unlike a lot of liqueur kits on the market, this is not a little bottle of flavouring added to Vodka or raw alcohol. Classic liquors starts with water, sugar and this kit. You produce your very own 40 percent proof (20 percent) alcohol that you brew and clarify at home. With several flavours to try there's something for everyone!
To make this Classic Liquor kit you will require some basic equipment. Our 6 bottle wine making kit:/collections/wine-making/products/home-brew-online-starter-equipment-pack-wine-6-bottle-kit is ideal.

Brupaks Linthwaite Light
Please note: This is a non-stock item and is delivered to order. Please allow 7-10 days for delivery.
These are more than just beer kits they are Concentrated Brewers Worts. Production follows traditional brewhouse procedures using only the finest quality 2-row malting barley and the choicest English hops. The grist (crushed malt) is 'mashed' with water at 65C for about one hour to convert the starches into sugar. The resultant liquid (wort) is strained off into a boiling vessel where hops are added for bitterness. After boiling, extra hops are added for flavour and aroma.
In a commercial brewery the wort would be cooled rapidly to around 20C, then transferred to a fermentation vessel where it is transformed into beer. As our worts are to be fermented at home, they first need to be reduced to a convenient size for the home beermaker to carry. To achieve this, the excess liquid is evaporated under vacuum, at low temperatures to preserve the delicate flavours, then pasteurised and canned. To continue the brewing process at home, all that is necessary is to dilute the concentrated wort back to its original density and ferment! Extra hops are included to restore aroma lost during production.
Included in the box are some advanced instructions for those who like to experiment. Subtle flavour differences can be achieved by adopting a few advanced techniques e.g. bitterness adjustment, sweetness, colour etc.

Hydrometer for Wine and Beer Making
A very useful piece of equipment for the home brewer
Use a hydrometer such as this one to measure the specific gravity of your wine or beer in order to achieve the desired alcohol content and to check when the fermenting process has finished.
Hydrometers are very useful when moving beer or wine from a primary fermenter to a secondary vessel. When a constant reading is achieved it's possible to accurately tell that the first stage of fermentation has finished.
Supplied with useful instructions & diagram and plastic tube - which can be used as a trial jar if necessary. Potential alcohol reading goes up to 17%. The hydrometer is made of glass so is packaged carefully to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. Made in the UK.
Why use a Hydrometer?
In Home Wine and Beermaking, you can control the sweetness and alcohol content of your wine and beer by measuring the 'specific gravity' of the liquid with a hydrometer. It will help prevent bottling or transferring to keg too early.

Muntons Gold - Old English Bitter
Home Brew Concentrate - Makes 40 Pints
Many years ago - centuries in fact - it was discovered that the way to brew the best ales and beers was to use only malt, hops, water and yeast in the brewing process. In the 15th Century in Germany this was taken a stage further with the introduction of the Reinheitsgebot - a law prohibiting the use of any ingredients in the brewing process other than these raw materials.
This law stood until only a few years ago when the EEC over-ruled the Reinheitsgebot which they considered to be a barrier to free-trade within Europe! In spite of this the breweries have refused to change their recipes and still brew using only the four magic ingredients - their customers would not be satisfied with anything less, they tell us.
Traditional English ales were brewed originally without hops but tastes change once hops from the Continent were introduced keeping the ale fresh for longer. Beer drinkers gradually developed a taste for the new hopped ales and in the 15th Century the modern tasting English ale was borne. More recently, economic pressure has forced many breweries to introduce cheaper adjuncts into the brewing process. Purists will argue however that the beer quality has suffered because of this and that it is far better to stick to the traditional practices. We at Muntons agree, which is why the Gold Range was developed, a range designed simply to make great beer.
As a commercial malster supplying breweries all over the world, we are in an ideal position to appreciate the quality and styles of malt needed to make the best beers. We have put our knowledge to good use and formulated what we believe to be the best beer kits available anywhere today - with a possible exception of Muntons Premium Gold! Made using only malt, hops, water and yeast, balanced to brew superb beers, modelled on the finest tradition of brewers art.
In keeping with our Gold standard, by using the easy to follow brewing instructions, you will brew beers of the very highest quality - a quality which complies with the 15th Century German purity law - the Reinheitsgebot. Cheers!
