Rosemary Raspberry Mead
Talk about a fun garden mead, the bright tartness from the raspberries really match well with the earthy rosemary. This mead is also sort of a landmark for me because it was after this that I started stabilizing. Until this point I just did my best to push my yeast to their limits, which really…

Blueberry Acerglyn (Big Book of Mead Recipes)
Here’s the first recipe I attempted making (though I made a few changes). Instead of stabilizing… I didn’t, and I think that’s the largest change I made, besides perhaps the yeast. This recipe came from “The Big Book of Mead Recipes” by Robert Ratliff, which you can find here: https://bookshop.org/shop/faewoodmead This came out quite well…

Mulberry Blueberry Mead
If you’re looking for some wild foraged ingredients, depending on where you live mulberries are a great option! Out here in Virginia they grow wild all over the place. I found a few trees where I lived in my neighborhood, and my dear friend Christina had a LUSCIOUS tree in her front yard I collected…

Blackberry Lavender Vanilla Mead
Blackberry Lavender and Vanilla… sounds like a match made in heaven! I wish I could say that I made this mead successfully, but unfortunately, I haven’t yet. The reason for this, primarily, is that lavender is such a strong flavored flower, that it’s very easy to overpower your mead (which is what I did). You…

Chouchen (A Druid/French Mead)
The Chouchen is the 5th mead I made when I began my Mazer journey, and it’s still one of my absolute favorites! Not only is it a historical mead with a cool story, it’s easy to make and has a wonderful flavor! In this video I cover what I discovered about this interesting mead, but…

Cranberry Sauce Mead
Happy Holidays everyone! Now that cranberries are back in season, this is a mead I definitely plan on making again… in a larger quantity! This is such an easy recipe, all you need is to make a traditional mead base, and then rack it onto homemade cranberry sauce after fermentation. The flavors are so strong,…

Juniper Elderflower Vol 1
Once again we’ve got an old mead series that needs a bit of re-vamping! This recipe was actually the first one I posted to my channel, and since then I’ve grown a lot as a mead maker, and have updated my practices. Because I began my journey using simpler techniques, I believe this original series…

Strawberry Mead Vol 1
I’ve had such a love/hate relationship with this particular mead. On one hand it really set my channel off and pulled in quite a lot of views for me – On the other hand, as I grew as a mead maker, I felt as though this mead series really held my subscriber growth back. For…

The Metheglin (Skald Cellars Collab)
This was a really fun mead to make! I joined forces with a friend of mine from Instagram named “Skald Cellars” aka Jeremy from PA. He loves this style of mead, and it’s one that I had never really experimented with. I mean, I’ve made mead with some herbs and cinnamon, but never a straight,…

Elderberry Bochet Series
That’s the thing about experimental recipes, sometimes you just don’t know until a few months after bottling if you’ve created a masterpiece or not… unfortunately, this was not it! Feel free to watch the series to see what I did, but this recipe would require quite a bit of tweaking. -See below for the recipe…
