Make mead. (read all 4 entries…)
stuff all together 3 years ago

I swear I am going to get this done and it will be soon. I now have all the stuff I think I am going to need together. I’ve got about everything figured out. Barring the part where I decided all the recipes I’m finding are way to complex for something that has been produced since 8000 B.C. E. or roughly 10,000 years. So for this first batch I’m going to wing it. THEN regardless of how this turns out I’m going to see about finding a recipe and following it to the letter from the start. If I could find the way the Vikings originally did it I would be interested in trying that too. Seems simple enough to be along the lines of… Add water and let the wild yeasts do their thing. BUT I don’t know that for sure. Anywho this started out as a random “I want to try this” while watching 13th warrior. So in the random experimental nature I’m going to wing it on this first batch… and unless it kills me. There will be a second batch

I just wanted to let you know how highly I personally approve of this goal, as a descendent of Vikings! Seriously though, I’m second generation Norwegian immigrant implant directly to the Scandanavian district of Seattle, Ballard. And so I saw “mead” and it made me smile. I’m proud of my heritage, its nice to know that people still remember we exist.

Thanks, Good to hear

Thanks for the comment and the cheer. I’m glad one of my hairbrain ideas made someone smile. I guess if you’re in Seattle you probably don’t happen to get through Illinois often. I wasn’t aware Seattle had a Scandanavian district, so at least I learned something today. If my random chance you should pass through Illinois message me and you’re more than welcome to taste it if its done. I really need to add stop procrastination to my list… someday. Anyway thanks again for the comment and cheer.
