Viking Mead

One year ago I made mead following an old Viking recipe. It has four ingredients:

Water, raisins, honey and yeast. Well there is one more ingredient: time!

After 30 days this mead was bottled and put away.

This past weekend I popped open the final product and had a taste:


To my surprise it was very bubbly and very strong. I had the alcohol listed at about 7% but I feel it was probably a bit higher. It was very dry, which is how I like it…the wife likes them sweeter. Maybe next time I will try for the sweeter mead.
