Unlock the mead-brewing secrets of the ancient Norse with homesteader, fermentation enthusiast, and self-described "Appalachian Yeti Viking" Jereme Zimmerman.
In Make Mead Like a Viking, Zimmerman shows how to embrace the traditional Nordic culture and rituals surrounding mead through experimentation in fermentation and flavor. Whether you're new to homebrewing or looking to expand your brewing and fermentation practices, Zimmerman will help you craft a sense of wild authenticity and individuality into your homemade brews - from sweet, semi-sweet, and dry meads, melomels (fruit meads), and metheglins (spiced meads) to bragots (honey beers), grog and more.
Zimmerman also provides in-depth information:
- The importance of local and unpasteurized honey for both flavor and health benefits.
- Why modern homebrewing practices, materials and chemicals work but aren't necessary.
- How to use herbs and wild botanicals in healing, nutritious brews.
- And much more.
Grounded in history and mythology but focused on natural and self-sufficient approach, Make Mead Like a Viking is a practical and entertaining guide for the ages.
Skål!
