Asgardian Mead

It has been too long. In times of chaos, it is good to fall back on old things. So, I started a new brew. Blackberry and vanilla.
It was made on October 3rd and still in process. Updates to follow.

This was the last bottle I saved from the Wolf's Blood mead I made about 2 years ago. It aged well!
Back to brewing now that Summer is here. Updates to follow. I will be trying a traditional mead and a Blueberry batch.

Fruit has fallen. Now to cool it and inactivate remaining yeast, then rack it.

As a Pole, I have tried all of these. I highly recommend them.

Every country has a national drink. Poland, is associated with vodka. In the last couple of years thanks to legislative reforms local breweries, wineries, small scale production of craft fruit liqueurs and ciders is returning to work after a long leave of absence.

Well, it has been a while but I am back on track with creating Mead. Here is a batch I started in January. It should be ready about March 20th. I will post some updates as it progresses. This batch was made using standard bread yeast.

So, we have been on a hiatus for far too long. We will be starting up the process of home brewing again and reporting. Stay tuned.

There's aged wine and then there's aged wine , and an alcoholic beverage based on an analysis of cauldron sediment dating back some 2,500 years is most definitely the latter.

Mead is making a big comeback around the world. Enthusiasts today are coming up with their own versions of the ancient brew. Before we were gifted with beer from the British isles our ancestors figured out how to make a damn tasty brew with rainwater in a beehive. “Mead is an alcoholic beverage crea…

Live and learn. The latest batch of mead failed. I used only 3 lbs of honey and apparently the bread yeast metabolized enough to make it very hot with little sweetness. So, I have to stay above the 3.5 lb mark for the sweetness to persist.
On a good note- The "Wolfs blood" mead from August of 2014 matured nicely. I popped open a bottle from the second carboy and it tastes great. So, we will stick with that recipe for sure.
We are getting close to at least two stock recipes for use and I still want to try a Blueberry Mead.

So, the basic recipes have passed the test. I will be brewing up two more batches this weekend for compassion. One with the bread yeast and the other with a yeast strain for a sweet wine/mead. Reports to follow.
