Answers:
i have made mead (honey wine) ales, porters, stouts, etc!.!.!.
my best advice is get a homebrewing book!. Cleanliness is essential!. also understanding why your doing something is best (i!.e!. don"t pitch the yeast when it's too hot or you'll kill them!)
also i made mead when a friend donated the honey!. some ingredients can get get pricey!. also look into making apple jack or hard cider ( pretty easy by most standards)
on books I recommend "The New Complete Joy of homebrewing" it's like the ultimate book for it!.
