I do my own Home Brewing ya know!
I have made Mead in the Past. I used an Ordinary Home Brew Kit and put in 3 Cups of Honey instead of 8 Cups of Corn Sugar.
It turned out Great.
Maybe I will do another Mead Recipe doing something similar as you have above, except I might use Honey, Maple Syrup and Brown Sugar with a Beer Home Brew Kit.
Right now, I have a Spice Peach Punch Cider in my Closet Micro Brewery going. It usually produces about 18 Liters of 3.5 % Alcohol Cider.

Sounds like it might be an interesting recipe. I've got just about everything I need now. Hopefully, I'll be able to get it started this weekend.
