Skyrim Black Briar Mead - Elder Scrolls CookBook - Mostly

Skyrim Black Briar Mead - Elder Scrolls Cook Book. Well, mostly. We've put off making the Elder Scrolls Cookbook recipes due to questionable practices, but, we decided to alter them a little but keep to the spirit of the Black Briar Mead from Skyrim.

Ingredients:
1 pound Blackberries
2 Cinnamon Sticks
2 Cloves

Absolutely love this idea!! In the defence of Maven Blackbriar and her meadery in Riften, they only really have access to water from Lake Honrich and the sewage system which absolutely needs the bejesus boiled out of it XD I'm more of a Honningbrew mead drinker myself. There are more streams that run off the White river which definitely make a natural, cleaner mead (as long as they hold the skeever poison!)

The point of Skyrim Mead isn't to get drunk, it's to have a very sweet drink that won't give you dysentery. Some of us _really like_ super sweet, effervescent mead. Having made the mead _exactly_ as it was described in the book, I found it absolutely delicious. It is what I expect mead to taste like.

Brian was just itching to rant from the beginning of the video 🤣. I just so happen to have some honey that’s waiting to be used. This will be the next one for sure, along with the Irish mead.

Thanks for pushing him over the edge Derica. Very entertaining to watch Brian outside of his comfort zone.

Just when I thought this channel couldn't get any better, they bring in some Elder Scrolls recipes.

“Heard they’re reforming the Dawnguard. Vampire hunters or something, in the old fort near Riften. Might consider joining up myself.”

[RafalBorowski]

Super cool you're making some brews from games. Practically in every RPG there are some brews/potions that can be crafted from different herbs and ingredients and seeing a real world take on those is fun and cool :)

[JustinP]

Love how you guys are having fun with you're brewing and trying interesting things.

[pablodelsegundo]

That cookbook is hilarious in that they associate tropical spices with what's largely a tundra-nation: Ginger, cloves, grains of paradise...

[ixwt]

Never thought of the fermentation weights for bags! Love that idea.

[eddieruby]

Confession... This book is what started my mead making. And wine. And root beer 🍺and beer. Lol but it started with 3 of the recipes Blackbriar being 1.

[BobGrimminger]

I think these quick mead recipes are designed to be consumed while they're still fermenting, which is why they suggest tasting it and deciding when you want to drink, and noting that they'll be fizzy when you have them. They're also probably designed to be stopped/refrigerated once you get to a stage that you like them, rather than being fermented to completion and then bottled.

i love the banter between you two. it reminds me of my wife and i and having hit pretty much rock bottom, its just what i needed. thank you!

[jdbuchs]

First off, been a viewer for a few months and love your videos. You two have inspired me to take the dive into home brewing. Got my first traditional, metheglin and vikings blood (nicknamed The Valkyries' Toll) going on 4 weeks. Second, had a random funny video idea... Top 5 Worst/Disappointing Brews. I don't know why I thought of it, but now I'm super curious. Thanks again for the inspirational, insightful and instructional content. Keep up the great work!

[RayneNaegwyn]

Ah! So exciting! I have posted a few of these meads in your facebook group. Forgot to mention there that I used your technique and just the flavours of the book. All of them turned out great!

[ivanbannon]

I love your videos! My brother and I home brew many things and watching you both reminds me of many of the ways we did things and learned! Great job! We will be trying some of your recipes.

Just a little info on rosehips. The de-seeded rosehips taste awesomely fruity as a tea (combines well with hybiscus) and in meads. The whole ones are kinda yuk coz the seads are musky and used more for making skincare products. Very interesting recipe!

[BobGrimminger]

Skyrim was the thing that introduced the idea of possibly making mead to me.

[RayMaster_]

Holy crap this is probably going to be my favorite episode out of them all!

[Drajika]

Thank you guys so much for making this mead!. I am planning to make all of the skyrim meads and the 2 week fermenting time is kinda worring me for being short of a time.
I also really like how you use the recipe and then goes with your experience of measures for each spice :D!!
Thanks again! Liked and subscribed ! Skål from Sweden :D
