The Agrinautica

Actually, mead is quite easy, All you need is 1 part honey to 4 parts water and yeast. Chunk it into a (preferably) glass container, put an airlock on top, and let it ferment. I've had some mead that was gods awful. In fact, the first few bottles of mead that I'd been gifted with were just ..... stank. Since then, I've had many a very fine mead. You can add fruit to make a melomel or spices to make a metheglin. It's as easy or complicated as you want to make.

BTW, good entry.
