Make Mead Like A Viking

Beskrivelse

Discover the ancient art of brewing mead with ease and authenticity in Make Mead Like a Viking. Jereme Zimmerman, a fermentation enthusiast and homesteader, guides you through crafting honey-based wines and beers using traditional methods.

Master the timeless techniques of natural, wild-fermented mead brewing inspired by Norse traditions.

For thousands of years, ancient cultures crafted flavorful and healing meads, ales, and wines relying solely on intuition, storytelling, and knowledge passed down through generations-no fancy equipment or chemistry degrees required. In this book, Jereme Zimmerman, who calls himself the 'Appalachian Yeti Viking,' channels the spirit of the Norse bryggjemann to show that brewing mead, often considered the world’s oldest fermented alcoholic drink, can be simple and enjoyable.

With the help of wild-yeast-bearing totem sticks, you'll explore how to create a variety of meads, including:

• Sweet, semi-sweet, and dry meads
• Melomels (fruit meads)
• Metheglins (spiced meads)
• Ethiopian tej
• Flower and herbal meads
• Braggots
• Honey beers and country wines
• Even Viking grog

This book opens the doors to further experimentation in fermentation and flavor, making it accessible whether you've been put off by the complexity and cost of modern homebrewing or you're eager to deepen your brewing skills. Zimmerman's approachable style, grounded in history and mythology yet focused on the future of self-sufficient food culture, makes Make Mead Like a Viking a practical and entertaining guide for brewers of all levels.
