[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 4462837, member: 50987"] A few years ago, I made a batch of mead for my gaming group. We were doing a series of Viking-themed adventures, and I wanted a beverage that would set the mood. We ended up calling it the "Viking Mead," in honor of the game setting. I don't know if any of you folks are homebrewers, but if you are, give this a try. This is not a "period" recipe, but it uses ingredients that would have been readily available to Vikings...who's to say they never made it? :) [B]Viking Mead[/B] ---------------------------------------- Filtered water 1/2 oz dried chamomile flowers 1/4 oz fresh sage 2 oz. fresh apple peel 2 lbs. wildflower honey 1/2 t. yeast energizer 1/2 t. yeast nutrient 1 pkt. liquid ale yeast Bring one gallon of water to a full rolling boil. Place the chamomile, sage, and apple peel into a brewer's bag, and toss them into the boiling water. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. [I]Remove from heat,[/I] and stir in the honey. Cover tightly, and set aside to cool overnight. In the morning, remove the bundle of herbs and pour the must into a sterilized one-gallon glass jug (leave about 3 inches of headspace in the jug.) Add the yeast, yeast nutrient, and yeast energizer, and shake well for 10 minutes (a good upper-body workout.) Attach a fermentation lock to the jug, and set in a cool, dark place to ferment. Rack, stabilize, clarify, and bottle, according to your favorite method (I like to use Campden Tablets, sparkalloid, and recycled Grolsch bottles.) Makes 8 pints of medium-sweet mead. [/QUOTE]
