A complete, practical, and entertaining guide to using the best
ingredients and minimal equipment to create flavorful
brews-including wildcrafted meads, bragots, t'ej, grog, honey
beers, and more! "A great guide . . . full of practical information
and fascinating lore."-Sandor Ellix Katz, author of The Art of
Fermentation Ancient societies brewed flavorful and healing meads,
ales, and wines for millennia using only intuition, storytelling,
and knowledge passed down through generations no fancy, expensive
equipment or degrees in chemistry needed. In Make Mead Like a
Viking, homesteader, fermentation enthusiast, and self-described
"Appalachian Yeti Viking" Jereme Zimmerman summons the bryggjemann
of the ancient Norse to demonstrate how homebrewing mead arguably
the world's oldest fermented alcoholic beverage can be not only
uncomplicated but fun. Inside, readers will learn techniques for
brewing: Sweet, semi-sweet, and dry meads Melomels (fruit meads)
Metheglins (spiced meads) Ethiopian t'ej (honey wine) Flower and
herbal meads Bragots Honey beers Country wines Viking grog And
there's more for aspiring Vikings to explore, including: The
importance of local and unpasteurized honey for both flavor and
health benefits What modern homebrewing practices, materials, and
chemicals work-but aren't necessary How to grow and harvest herbs
and collect wild botanicals for use in healing, nutritious, and
magical meads, beers, and wines How to use botanicals other than
hops for flavoring and preserving mead, ancient ales, and gruits
The rituals, mysticism, and communion with nature that were
integral components of ancient brewing Whether you've been
intimidated by modern homebrewing's cost or seeming complexity in
the past or are boldly looking to expand your current brewing and
fermentation practices, Zimmerman's welcoming style and spirit will
usher you into exciting new territory. Grounded in history and
mythology, but like Odin's ever-seeking eye focusing continually on
the future of self-sufficient food culture, Make Mead Like a Viking
is a practical and entertaining guide for the ages. "Adventurous
mead makers or brewers who want to move beyond the basics will find
plenty to savor here."-Library Journal
