New to mmaking mead here Ive tried a few different kinds of mead before. I enjoy and i know that it is simple to make. I want to make a small batch just as a trial. A buddy told me that he has a few empty beer bottles some balloons and bread yeast. He mixed water and honey and yeast. Let it sit for a week. And he had an alcoholic beverage. He said it didnt taste the best. But is it realy that easy and can brew that quickly? Seeing an impending lockdown coming, i want to try and make some mead at home during that time to occupy some time.  Is it realy that easy and safe to make it?
