Mented is a beginner-friendly fermenter for fruit wine making. Traditional at-home kits are complex, outdated and unknown to many potential users, often leading to errors such as overfilling, which can cause explosions. Mented resolves these issues by including a built-in sieve with a fill line indicating how much fruit and liquid to add. Its modern aesthetic is more inviting for new users and a sun cover allows for countertop storage, making the process of learning to make fruit wine more comfortable and less intimidating.
