Quoted:
you can drink it at the end of the clearing stage but it will be flat. Traditional mead is not heavely carbonated but i prefer it that way to make it drinkable to me. To bottle the mead mix in an appropriate amount of sugar and then bottle. the suger will ferment in the bottle and carbonate the meade. Do some research as to how much suger to use in the bottleing process. too much and you have a BEER BOMB!

Interesting, thank you for the info!

I'm a wine lover and I've always wanted to try mead. I've heard the commerical stuff is no good though and you need to find a homebrewer. I don't homebrew so I doubt I'll ever get to try it.

One can often find Mead being served at various Renaissance Faires and sometimes Medieval re-enactments also. Adding a touch of Vodka cuts the sweetness a bit, and does other things as well.

mead is probobly one os the easiest beer <type> beverages to make. Mostly boiling water.

the hardest part is the waiting for the fermentation. While it can be drunk right after clearing some of the best i have tatsed had aged 2-3 years in a cool dark area. The sweetness REALLY mellows out. I was never able to let e brew sit that long.

if you get a good watermellon wine you sir have my respect. Watermellons and fermenting are something that usually go good together.
