DARN VICTORIANS! I have been taken in by one of the many Victorian fabrications surrounding Anglo-Saxon history. It turns out, the wonderful story about the origin of honeymoons was made up in th 19th century with no historical evidence for it. They got me!
Did you know the elves call it "Honey wine"
Where can I get me some psychedelic honey?
Just found this jewel of a channel! Can't wait to watch, and make terrible versions of these great recipes!
Loving the content keep it coming!
I like the Bayeux shirts. But, why aren't you making kitchen utensils? I would think a tasting history wooden spoon, slotted spoon, and spatula set or cookbook stand, spoon rest, or some things like that would be a lot of fun.
Have you tried the other bottle yet? Would like to know how it turned out with more time. Thanks!
I read the title of Medieval head
wich temperature is this suposed to be drank? I mean, I dont think that they could put it in a refrigerator back in the day but just leaving it in the open it would get cold
1:38 milk is not cold when coming out of a hot cow. It's about 100 degrees f.
Medieval persons were imbeciles.
i think the amount of yeast you use really doesnt matter because yeast doubles every 90 minutes..
honey beer was the best beer i ever made. i didnt know it was the sauce that produced love childs..
Did he ever drink the other mead?
Dumb
Iam so going to try this. But I ain`t sterilizing shit
From Arizona… Is there a specific ambient temp you should place your jar of mead to ferment
I'm already aging my mead. I'm just watching this because I like mead lol
Idea For Merch: an apron that says "Serve It Forth"
He’s really cute. I admit it’s the reason I clicked but I’m also very fascinated by ancient recipes lol.
I'm welsh and hadn't put medd and wedi meddwi together before, thats really funny. Also mêl means honey and melis means sweet, so I guess our word for sweet literally means "like honey" lol. I guess you know that day by day, we either speak english or a bastardisation of the two languages, I probably would have figured that out years ago if I spoke welsh daylly lol. My guess for the word lengh there, considering the word "bubble" had not been coined, and the need for sterility in brewing means to "come to a rolling boil", because "big bubbles, no troubles".
Perfect.. Oddly; I was in my kitchen discussing viking drinking habits, and I brought up Mead, and how its made in my state.. That was a day ago, then this vid comes up.. Lol
8:30 "History based game"
Meanwhile on the picture – some ridiculous fantasy Xena-ish character that has literally zero to do with actual, historically accurate vikings, is rather based on an absolutely fantasy TV series that isn't just historically inaccurate, it feels like the creators had the goal to show everything NOT the way it actually was. Sooo… your favorite period, you say? Ok…
So nobles are just mead babies, no wonder they were such asshats
5:30 "Lengh" means an extended period of time I would think. Remember, Old English sounds similar to modern English, and boiling the water for a long "length" of time is required for the sterilization that brewing requires. Then I found this: https://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/middle-english-dictionary/dictionary/MED25114
in the history you missed ancient Egypt they used a drink made from honey and water.
ANOTHER!!!
Niice
In Indian Religious Vedas, The alcohol made from honey is not Soma, the correct term is Somras (som – rus) means juice of Soma plant. So it was alcohol made from juice of Som plant. The alcohol made from honey in India was called Madira (muh-dira). Honey was called Madhu or Mudh (m-the) which comes from a proto Iranian language from which we get word Mead.
I made mead when i went away once. I had a massive bottle (about 1 litre) of honey that had crystallized. I put some very warm wayer in it to dissolve it all, then added yarrow leaves and goji berries and left in on the side for a couple weeks. It did have sunlight coming in the window so it wasnt dark but mostly not in direct sunlight if i remember well. It turned out pretty decent!!
Oh, I read "meth". Wrong video 😞
Legnth means boiling – as the water legnthens basically
I was so confused… your ad came right before your video, I skipped and it was still you… I thought it was a new type of ad that got offended if you skipped lol
i love small wholesome channels like this thanks for making my day 😀
COULD I MAKE CARICKCAKE MEAD
Holy shit you should have been an auctioneer…. you talk so fast and so much lol
I mean isn't methanol poisoning a big risk when brewing your own alcohole like in moonshine?
So … has there ever been a follow-up video?
Dude, spices, oils, dressings, autographed bottles of said things. There's a market.
Might wanna put a fermentation lock on that aging bottle just in case or you might see how Odin really lost his eye….
