Now as all metal heads know, Mead is one of the most metal drinks around. But what is it? Mead simply is Honey wine; but its more of a beer than a wine! So is it easy to make the drink of the vikings? Yes.
Ingredients
Water
Honey
Yeast
Patience
So the proportions are hard to figure out, but Preferably 1 part honey 2 parts water. Mix the Honey and water together until they are one single fluid. Simply put them into a bottle (Prefferably glass but a 2l plastic bottle will do) Have some way of letting the gases out. If its a plastic bottle a simple pinhole neer the cap will or a baloon with a hole in it (Remember to put tape on the area you are putting a hole in to stop it from tearing), but if the container is glass you may need to look into water locks.
As for the yeast you will only need a Sache or two depending on how much you are brewing. Simply mix the yeast in, Leave the bottle of mix somewhere warm for about 2 weeks until it has fully fermented. Well done! You have Mead! But what now?
Remember. Filter it after the fermentation is complete.
Optional:
If you want to better the flavor you can leave it for months at a time!
So there you go! Mead! Now you can get shit faced like the vikings
!
Here is a video of Amon Amarth showing you how its done!
