I Really enjoy making mead. I have made 6 batches so far and found that I like the following recipe best:

Two gallons of honey ( I like either Wild flower or Buck Wheat)
Heat one gallon of water and add honey, this will make it easier to mix.
Fill a 6 or 6.5 gallon carboy with honey/water mix and water to 5.5 gallon mark.
Add 5 tablespoons of yeast nutrient
Stir mix vigorously ( I use an attachment for my power drill), this will add air and help fermentation.
Add yeast and cap carboy with a vapour lock. ( allows CO2 out but no oxygen in)
Let sit and ferment for 1 month.
Shift to a new carboy and replace vapour lock. Use a siphon and leave as much sediment as you can behind. Leave in this carboy for 3 months.
Here is the hard part. Bottle and leave in a cool place for at lease a year.

I am getting mead that runs between 20 and 22 percent alcohol content. It has been drinkable after one year, fine after two, and I am waiting to see what 3 years will do. For added flavour either add oak chips during the three months in the second carboy or get a small oak cask and let your mead age in it for 6 months to a year.

I get my honey over the internet at The Bee Folks. Their prices are not bad and they deliver.
