In most countries, like the US, Canada, and Australia, homebrewing of beverages such as wines, beer, and mead is legal. However, it is illegal to distil alcohol without an excise manufacturer license. You need to get permission from the Australian Taxation Office to own, possess, dispose of, buy, sell, import or manufacture a still of more than 5 litres capacity.
Since mead is also an alcoholic drink, you may need to check with state liquor licensing and health agencies.
Honey mead has been brewed for more than 7,000 years starting in Northern China. It became a “Drink of the Gods” because of its delicate and delicious flavour. It’s an alcoholic drink made by fermenting honey with water and adding yeast to eat away at the sugars to produce the alcoholic drink.
Generally, homebrewing of mead on a small scale for personal, non-commercial purposes. But you need to get a license if you intend to produce more than 5 litres and plan to sell it on a commercial scale. But giving them as gifts under the specified quantity is just fine and no need to get a license. Better yet, consult with Australia’s local taxation office and its liquor licensing and health agencies.
