Really great thread, read it all the way through. I have no idea what mead will be like, having never tasted it before.
I've just started 2x 5l water bottles going. Followed the recipe to the letter, one bottle I used the hovis fast bread yeast (yellow box in sainsburrys), and the other the allinson dried active yeast (for hand baking, it's not fast, and not for bread machines) which I think will be a bit more traditional. Will compare christmas 2014. Mine had a brix of 26%.
