This is the place where it's about one thing, the Honey! Whatever your favorite way to make it is, post up your favorite recipes here. To start off with I'll define what the different styles of Mead are so we're all on the same note.
Note: This is from stormthecastle.com
Melomel: Mead made with fruit added
Braggot (or Bracket) Mead made with malted grain (usually barley)
Hydromel: This is the term for a weak or watered down mead
Pyment: This is mead made with grape or grape juice added. This is also the term for a grape wine that has honey added to it.
Cyser - A mead made with apples or apple juice
Metheglin: A mead made with added spices - often considered to have medicinal traits. Some common spices are cinnamon, nutmeg or cloves
Rhodomel : An ancient Roman term for a mead made with rose petals
Sack Mead: A mead with a very high honey content. It has a high density and is often sweeter than typical meads. This can be thought of as a dessert wine of meads.
Show Mead: This is a term that has come to define a plain mead with no spices or fruits added.
Short Mead : (Also referred to as a quick mead) this is a mead that is made in a fashion so it matures quickly. Short meads are often very similar to ales.
Great Mead: Kind of like the opposite of a Short Mead. This mead is designed to be bottled and aged for several years.
Sparkling Mead: A carbonated mead much like a sparkling wine. This is usually achieved by adding a small amount of honey or sugar just before bottling. This causes a small secondary ferment while in the bottle that will elevate the pressure and sweetness.
Morat: A Melomel made from Mulberries
Hippocras: A pyment to which spices have been added
Omphacomel: mead made with verjuice which is the juice of unripened grapes. This is often considered to be a type of pyment.
Oxymel - Made with wine vinegar
Acerglyn - Mead made with maple syrup
Bochet - refers to a mead that was made with the honey caramelized or burned before it is added to the water. Creates several different flavors including toffee, chocolate or marshamallow.
Capsicumel - Flavored with chili pepper
Black Mead - Made with Black Currants
Mulled Mead - This refers to a mead that is heated before drinking. Typically it has spices for flavoring.
As much as I can I'll update this as an index of all the recipes.
