We routinely make small mead, based on Digby's recipe ("weak honey drink"),
without either sulfites or bleach or any equivalent, and have had no
problems.  Note that the recipe ferments for only about 24 hours before
bottling and a few days in the bottle. It starts out sterile, having boiled
for some time. Our worked out version is in the _Miscellany_.
