Original Story
How to Brew
Four simple steps, one quiet machine.
1
Sanitize & Soften Honey
Ensure your iGulu keg is clean and properly sanitized. Place the honey pouch in hot water for 10 minutes to soften the contents.
2
Pour & Mix
Pour the honey into the keg. Add clean water at room temperature up to the 1 gallon mark and stir well.
3
Add Yeast
Sprinkle in the dry yeast. Do not stir after adding yeast; leave it undisturbed.
4
Start Fermentation
Seal the keg and place it into the iGulu machine. Properly connect the tube, then start the fermentation process.
Twelve days later, pour from the tap — already chilled, already sparkling, already clear.

Common Questions
What is longan honey?
Longan honey is honey made from the nectar of longan blossoms. It is appreciated for its delicate floral aroma, smooth sweetness, and soft fruit-like character. In Dragon Eye Mead, longan honey provides the signature honey aroma and subtle fruit notes.
What does Dragon Eye Mead taste like?
Dragon Eye Mead is lightly sweet, floral, and refreshing, with soft fruit notes and fine sparkling bubbles. It has a light body and a clean finish, making it easier to drink than many richer traditional meads.
Can I adjust the sweetness?
Yes. If you prefer a sweeter profile, you can stop fermentation earlier. At 20°C, you may taste it after around 10 days. Once it reaches your preferred sweetness, chill the drink to slow fermentation and enjoy a softer, sweeter result.
How is Dragon Eye Mead different from traditional homemade mead?
Traditional homemade meads are often higher in alcohol, fuller-bodied, still, and may require more time for clarification or aging. Dragon Eye Mead is designed to be lighter at 5–5.5% ABV, sparkling, clear, and refreshing, offering a more approachable mead experience.
Can I brew this kit with F1 or S1 machines?
Yes. Dragon Eye Mead works with both iGulu F1 and S1 machines. The iGulu Smart Brewer helps manage fermentation, carbonation, chilling, and dispensing for a more consistent brewing experience.
Can I brew Dragon Eye Mead manually without iGulu?
Yes, it is possible to brew manually, but you will need your own fermentation keg, temperature and pressure control, CO₂ supply setup, and dispensing method. For beginners, we strongly recommend using the iGulu Smart Brewer to achieve consistent clarity, bubbles, and flavor with minimal effort.
