Mead fermentation
L'hydre au miel- Mead made complicated
- Dan McConnell, K. D. Schramm & G. W. Kent: An analysis of mead, mead making and the role of its primary ingredients
Composition of honey, effect of its components on mead, what honey is (from a chemistry standpoint) suitable for mead making.
Discussion about whether to "pasteurize", boil, filter, sulphite, etc. honey. Discussion of fermentation (biochemistry standpoint). 14 pages.
Quite a few interesting ideas for those who want to know and understand what is going on during the fermentation.
- Streinkraus K. H. & Morse R. A.: Factors influencing the fermentation of honey in mead production, journal of apicultural research 5, 17 (1966)
Research article: authors carry various experiments of mead fermentation using various chemicals and vitamins. Ingredients found in yeast nutrients sold in homebrewing stores may come from this (kind of) work.

Beer fermentation
Janson L. W.: Brew chem 101, Storey (1996) Focused on beer but some ideas are general enough. Readable even without a deep knowledge of chemistry or biology.
Fix G. J. & Fix L.A.: An analysis of brewing techniques, Brewers publications (1997)
Focused on beer too. More complicated than B1 (knowledge of chemistry needed) but not applicable to mead.
