If you hace access to cheap honey, you should totally be brewing mead. One of the easiest brews ever, 1-2 weeks fermentation.
With a sweet flavor and an alcohol content around 8%-12% this brew is perfect for barbecues and pool parties.
Add some spices (clove, cinnamon, black pepper) and you have a great winter drink.

I "discovered" mead mostly thanks to #jackspirko, and started out just out of curiosity. Now I'm full production and love it, expecially because I don't really like beer! :-)
Mead is the brew that brings together beer, wine and cocktail lovers in a common joy of drunkenness.
Also found #mead from #tsp so I #blamejack for my interest. Haven’t started but hope to soon. We are new to homesteading and don’t want to take on too many things at once. Any tips and tricks would be welcome.
One good thing about brewing is that it might take half a day of your time, but then you're done for a while.
If you start brewing your mead in the morning, you won't be able to add the yeast until the night or even the next morning depending on the temperature. Once you add the yeast, you have several days before you need to do anything else. After you put it on secondary, about a week or two of not touching it...
You can definitely do it while taking on to new things that are more time consuming. And before you realize, you'll be able tocelebrated finishing those other things with some nice homebrewed mead.
