Hello to everyone.
My name is Matt, I'm a content advertising and marketing consultant (commercial film maker) with a plan to produce Mead and try to commercialise it beyond a hobby. Some of my extended family have in brewing with my father-in-law learning his trade with Bass in Burton Upon Trent before then working all over the world.
I do however want to take my time, learn as much as I can and ensure I can produce something special. What really interests me is the idea of a lower alcohol hydromel. (I know there's some contention over the name but essentially a 5% alcohol content mead). Which could be drunk as an accompaniment to a meal like a craft beer or lager.
Has anyone had much success producing something of that sort? I'm a total newbie and this is the very start of my journey. I'm reading for hours each day but would appreciate some anecdotal viewpoints.
