I want to try to make a "mead" adjacent drink without the use of honey. (yes I know that is technically not mead, please just humor me)

To create sugar wines like this, which I can then experiment with different fruits and whatnot, what would be some possibly tasty alternatives that I could use as the base sugar?

I botched the entire thing tbh I added water to a liter bottle, 250mg sugar, and I added 10g of bread yeast but I read it 10 instead of 1 by mistake so I scooped it out real quick I'd say 2 grams remained? its still fermenting fast after 11 days I opened it and I thought it was done, I closed it after drinking a cup of it and I realized its actually stronger than I expected I'd say 10%? I closed it and I woke up then opened it and the bottle cap flew to the other side of the room after hitting the ceiling so I closed it real quick and added my diy air lock back again

how can I use cloth or something (no coffee filter) to get rid of the yeast so I can drink it, or can I just drink it right away?

It is currently day 6 of the no added sugar bread yeast cider, and it should be done within the next few days, the sulphur/egg smell is completely gone, and is replaced with an alcohol apple smell. I gave it a taste test and OMG it is probably the best cider I’ve tried, better than some commercial ones. All the sweetness is gone and it will reach 5.72%. I’m then going to carbonate in two 500ml bottles with 1tsp brown sugar, which will bring it to 6.16% ABV.

so i made this batch yesterday and theres like no foam whatsoever. usually whenever i make hooch it usually has about an inch or so of foam at the top but this time it doesn’t? here’s the ingredients, 64oz apple juice, cup and half of sugar, half teaspoon of fleischmans yeast. did i do something wrong or could it maybe be the weather or the yeast i used??

I'm gonna cold crash and then backsweeten later, does it matter if I put in my additives before or after cold crash? I have a lot going on today and would like to just throw it in the fridge and figure it all out later

has anyone hooched this before? heres the ingredients, Water, Sugar, Cranberry Juice (water, cranberry juice concentrate), Apple Juice (water, apple juice concentrate), Natural Flavor, Fumaric Acid, Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C), Sodium Citrate, Malic Acid, Vegetable Concentrate for Color.

(if your wondering why im ordering instead of buying at a store its cause i live in a small town and the nearest grocery store is far af)
