Peach Pie Mead
Peach pie… what’s not to love? This mead was super experimental for me, especially since I hadn’t really made much with spices. In this 1 gallon of mead I added a total of: 6 pounds peaches, 4 oz dried apricots, 1.8 oz brown sugar, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 nutmeg, ginger, cardamon, allspice berries, 1 clove,…

Cherry Pomegranate Chocolate & Vanilla Mead
This is hands down one of my absolute favorite meads that I’ve made! The flavor combination marries together so well. The most important thing to note about this… is how you add the chocolate and what form you use. I’ve been told by folks who use chocolate A LOT in their meads, that the best…

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…
