An ancient drink with long history of use, mead has many health benefits that may help with weight loss, cholesterol regulation and blood pressure reduction. Furthermore, its gluten-free formula makes it suitable for those sensitive to wheat products.

There is an array of mead varieties available, ranging from straightforward hydromels with low ABV content to complex melomels and wine-like meads with higher alcohol concentration. Your selection of ingredients and yeast will have an immense effect on its final flavor, body and sweetness; additionally it must be capable of withstanding alcohol content desired – some mead yeast strains may need extra nutrients added during production;

Selection of suitable yeast strains is vital to producing mead successfully. They should be capable of withstanding desired alcohol levels while producing significant carbon dioxide during the fermentation process. Temperature range is also an important consideration as different strains thrive best under warmer or cooler environments respectively.

Once your initial gravity reading has stabilized, add your yeast and mix. Transfer to a clean, sanitized demijohn or jug and secure with an airlock or bung – leaving to ferment for at least four to six weeks while testing regularly using a hydrometer.
