Mangrove Jacks Mo05 Yeast

Suitable for all styles of mead. A high ester-producing strain conferring fresh, floral esters, especially when fermented cool. This yeast has high alcohol tolerance and ferments well over a wide temperature range.

5Lt Glass Bottle / Demijohn

High quality glass 5 litre Demijohns with handle and screw cap. They are very versatile and popular with mead makers and small batch brewers, cider makers and fruit wine makers.

This unit comes with a quality plastic screw cap and a cap insert to ensure the bottle is100% air tight. It also features a wide 38mm internal diameter neck

Easy Start 5lt Syphon

This Easy Start Auto Siphon is the easiest, quickest way to transfer your batch from a 5lt Glass fermenting Bottle to a second vessel or to siphon your delicious brew from carboy to bottle. With the racking tube, it only takes a few minutes to siphon off your batch, and the tip on the racking cane is specially designed to minimise the pickup of sediment during transfer. 

Makes your siphoning job a breeze.

Other useful Equipment: Hydrometer & Test Flask

A Hydrometer and test flask would be a handy addition to this unit. It will help you measure the alcohol percentage and tell you when fermentation is complete.
