Make Mead Like a Viking 10th Anniversary Edition - Jereme Zimmerman

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. Armed with wild-yeast-bearing totem sticks, readers will learn techniques for brewing sweet, semi-sweet, and dry meads, melomels (fruit meads), metheglins (spiced meads), Ethiopian t ej, flower and herbal meads, braggots, honey beers, country wines, and even Viking grog, opening the Mead Hall doors to further experimentation in fermentation and flavor. Whether you ve been intimidated by modern homebrewing s cost or seeming complexity in the past and its focus on the use of unnatural chemicals 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.
