You'll find more mead making information on the Got Mead? forums and site.
One thing I will mention about making mead... 99% chance you'll get better results by NOT using "mead" yeast. Look at what Lalvin offers for premium wine yeasts and pick from that selection. Also, the Got Mead? site has a making calculator... It's generally a good way to formulate your must.

I have a question about useing swing top bottles and over carbing my cider(making bottle bombs) since the top is more of a presume seal and not clamped on will the swing tops release pressure or will the bottle pop.

The top will 'pop' and release without breaking the bottle. You'll heat it too. I had two bottles from a blonde ale I made do that on me. Back when I was bottling.
