Types of Mead
Dry Mead	Dry mead is made of honey and water only. Stronger than wine made from grapes and can reach 18% abv.
Sweet Mead	Sweet mead is slightly weaker than dry mead and has stronger honey flavor and character.
Cyser	Cyser is a combination of honey and apple cider. This is the strong drink of Biblical times. Both the honey and the cider will ferment to a clean dry wine which makes a great sparkling wine when primed with corn sugar or honey when bottled.
Pyment	Pyment blends honey, grape juice and water. It is a great light wine for summer. You will be amazed at how much grape character comes through and the honey flavored finish is excellent.
Melomel	Melomel is made from honey, water and any fruit other than grapes or apples.  Using seedless fruit puree in  Melomel gives perfect results batch after batch.
Metheglin	Metheglin starts with traditional mead but has herbs and spices added. A simple kitchen spice rack will provide what you need.
Hippocrass	Hippocrass is a combination of Pyment and spices. You must choose your spice wisely so as not to impair the flavor of the honey and grape.
Braggot	Braggot marks the invention of Ale. Brewed from honey, malted barley and sometimes hops. A ratio of one part honey to one part dry malt extract is a good place to start. Choose a low alpha acid hop to avoid making a bitter ale - like Fuggles or Saaz.
