Realtalk it's not that good, but-
Process of receiving it:1. Got package off porch, opened it.[about a day passes here, I didn't have a chance to mess with it yet.]2. Get around to starting my mead project.3. Check the instructions: they're vague and not very helpful.4. Start heating water, get honey reaady.5. Check other supplies in box: there's the carboy, a screw-on lid, an airlock (completely smashed, plastic shards everywhere), some unknown breed of Red Star yeast with a champagne glass design on it, and a bag of nutrients for the yeast.6. Lament at not having an airlock, as there's no way for me to go to the brewing supply store, I can't leave the house at this time.7. Check instructions again, no real help here, so I google different tips on mead and mead making.8. Use 1 tbsp of bleach in one gallon of water, use that mix to sanitize all my stuff.9. Google says you can make an airlock by sticking a balloon on the end of the carboy and poking a hole in it so it inflates without popping.10. Finish preparing the honey-water mix, add sumac to it and let it sit.11. Track down a bag of balloons I have, poke a couple tiny holes in it, toss it into the sanitizer mix with my other stuff.12. Sanitize the carboy.13. Rinse and dry everything.14. Add honey mix (minus the sumac that settled at the bottom) into the carboy, then add bottled spring water, leaving headspace in the bottle.15. Pray I sanitized enough.16. Make and add yeast slurry, definitely not enough yeast.17. Wait a bit and add yeast nutrient as per some online instructions.18. Sanitized cap on, shake the whole bottle for a bit.19. Cap off. Pray I sanitized enough.20. Attach balloon, set the whole carboy on my desk in my room and watch it like a mother watches her baby for like two days straight until the set of airlocks I bought from Amazon arrive and I swap the balloon.That said, I actually liked the balloon trick, though it was a kinda small balloon and I expected it to rip from being stretched over the carboy.Anyway, from my experience and from the experience of others in the reviews, I'm just going to assume the majority of airlocks are going to be cracked or shattered in transit, so prep your own airlock/balloon instead.Even disregarding the shattered airlock though, you still get a great deal on a 1gal carboy, plus good yeast, plus yeast nutrient, so I'm not mad. I wish the instructions were better, though.

My advice: If you just are looking for a jug with a white seal cap, go ahead and buy. My kits have always had those two... But this kit isn't worth having to go back and return it TWICE or more before you get one with all the parts.
Final picture is to show the two kits at once so you know I didn't just remove a piece.
Always missing an important piece. Really disapointed.

I've always enjoyed mead over beer or wine and thought it would be fun to make my own. I was excited for this kits good price and simplicity, but when I got the first kit it was missing the rubber stopper with the hole for the airlock. An important piece that was needed to make the mead. I was disapointed but thought 'Oh well, mistakes happen. I'll return it and get a replacement. No biggie.' As the second kit came I was once again excited to be able to begin the process. However to my disappointment and disbelief ANOTHER PIECE WAS MISSING. This time the yeast was not in the kit. I don't want to have to keep gambling on buying these kits when they are not including the supplies that you are paying for.Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2022
