Sometimes mead is often mistaken for honey wine or honey beer. While honey wine and honey beer are indeed types of wine and beer, they are respectively made with grapes and grains and probably infused with honey at some point. Is Mead Sweet? One of the biggest misconception is that mead is going to be sweet because it's made with honey. Most people don't realize that honey is one of the most fermentable sugars. Honey a very, very simple sugar. It can completely ferment dry. If you're making a beer for example, you typically can't completely ferment a beer dry, so beers are going to be much sweeter than most meads are simply because of the sugars that are left behind. The reason you need hops in beer is to balance the sweetness out. If you want mead to be sweet, you actually have to stop the east from eating through all the sugar in order to leave some residual sugar behind. So yes, mead can be sweet, but not all meads are sweet. Video Interview with a Mead Maker
