I would listen to /u/skeggox and go to /r/mead. It's a great sub, even if it's a bit slower than we would be in response.
Remember, there are more ways than you can imagine to make a 'simple' mead. It's honey, water and yeast when you come right down to it.
However, if you're looking for something authentic and quick in both response time from us and brew time, as well as being a great project for the first time brewer, I suggest you start with cider. Cider is probably the oldest and simplest form of brewing, and you almost have to try to mess it up.
Also, if historical authenticity is your goal, I have a book to suggest! It's Kindle only, so if you don't have an e-reader just download the app for your computer or phone (it's free) and buy the book for $3.99. It's called Drinkable History: Horrifying Authentic Techniques for 3000 Year Old Hard Cider, 1500 Year Old Mead, and 1000 Year Old Ale. The recipes are simple and well researched, and the cider recipe is especially easy and only takes about a week to make.
Here ya go.
Is also free in the UK, here :)
