Outdoors, Brews, & BBQ - let’s have a beer and chat about Nature and Mead. Mead Bees Bees produce 10 - 200 pounds of honey a year. Made from honey, mead is perhaps the world's first intentionally fermented beverage. It's not a beer which is (grain-based) and it's not a wine (fruit-based): mead is its own thing, a millennia-old merrymaker that can be rustic and simple or delicate and refined. Making mead at home is easy—easier than making beer. Mead, also called hydromel, particularly when low in alcohol content, its an alcoholic beveragemade by fermenting honey mixed with water, and sometimes with added ingredients such as fruits, spices, grains, or hops. The alcoholic content ranges from about 3.5% ABV to more than 20%. The defining characteristic of mead It may be still, carbonated, or naturally sparkling; dry, semi-sweet, or sweet. The term honey wine is sometimes used as a synonym for mead. Evidence of mead begins to show up in the archaeological record more clearly, with pottery vessels from northern China dating from at least 7000 BCE The earliest surviving written record of mead is possibly the soma mentioned in the hymns of the Rigveda, one of the sacred books of the historical Vedic religion and later Hinduism dated around 1700–1100 BCE.
