How fast you're mead ferments depends on the type of yeast you use. Next time you do it use a champagne yeast it is a hearty yeast and will consume a lot of sugar. You can actually fully ferment a mead in 7-10 days. You're alcohol content is approximately 1 pound of honey = 1% abv in five gallon batch. It should taste nothing like beer. If you get the yeasty taste it means it's not done fermenting yet. I usually ferment it very dry and then sweeten and neutralize and then you can age it.
Typically for mead, we ferment for 12 -18 months. Every 3 months we change to a different carboy, leaving residue behind, tasting, and looking to see if it is still bubbling. We also don't "cook" to the water and honey. Though, doing so might help expedite the fermentation process by breaking down the sugars with "Cooking". Even after 18 months we'll still get corks popping from time to time.
Fun Fact: Viking never had horns attached to the helmet, the main reason why people think they did is because of scandinavian artistans that popularized nordic raiders to have horns on their helms which they never had.
the Reason Why the People think Vikings Had Horns On the Helmet comes From the GERMAN Opera from Richard Wagner "The ring of the Nibelung" in the Song The Ride of the Valkyrie the First time Vikings appear with Horns on their Helmets . Thats the Origin of Horns On Helmets. Has 0 to do with a Scandinavian Artistan.
Another fun fact is that there is no such thing as actual Viking descent, also being proud and still representing a pillaging,R@ping,raiding and actually very cowardly way of life is in my opinion not the best play ever
Grravlox, everyone in culunary school here in Sweden learned the first year in there. It's a stable that everyone should know how to make. Its easy, and tasty.
Not sure about the "salt wasn't naturally occuring" part. Because, you know... There's the literal *ocean* which for a viking usually isn't far away. It would be a lot more available than sugar, anyways. Salt was in seawater and could also be mined. Sugar was an import from asia and the middle east. Now, the vikings did do trading runs all the way to Bagdad, so they probably did occasionally buy some, but you'd see infinitely more salt than sugar.
@@BobaPhettamine part of a school topic about old food traditions going all the way back to Viking times. And I have worked in the kitchen even where old preservation methods from that time are still used. Heritage food is still interesting thing. Btw sugar did not come to Norway until 1700-1800.
I enjoyed this video more than some others cooking channel videos. The humor, less seriousness and overall more laid back feeling are really nice! It did not get as many views as other series from you, but I would hope you would still continue, if you had fun making it! It truly liked this a lot. Thank you for making content!
Just a note on the brew of the mead. if you use any, ANY honey, that has corn syrup added you have a poluted brew. You need a raw honey (honeycomb is best) or you have a weird low alcohol booze water. -- brewing snobbery over.
My wife and I make mead ourselves at home very similar to how you made yours. Looks like you didn't add much honey and you filled it really full which is sketchy because as it ferments it could overflow a bit. I haven't gotten to the part where you taste it yet. We add some other stuff to it for flavor but overall turns out incredible. We brew it until I don't see signs of fermentation then I put it into secondary phase which is just putting it into another carboy to finish. I would love to send you a bottle of it if you'd like to give it a shot.
It's extremely rare for even the best yeast strains to get more than 18% abv . It also depends on what the starting specific gravity was at the start and what it was at the end of fermentation (which also depends on what the sugar content was). Meads can take upwards of a year to be fully fermented and settled so then flavors are married. A 30 day mead is usually going to taste a bit harsh.
All you really have to do is row out the Fjord to the open ocean then set your sails and let the wind take you, once you reach England roll the sail up and row up the coast and into the rivers then row inland and look for spot to land and make camp.
IT's not really possible to ferment a beverage more than about 18-19% without taking some extreme measures like putting in huge amounts of yeast and sugar, and even then you probably won't go past 25 or so. Yo get stronger than that you have to distill or use the eiswein technique. So I'm guessing your mead is in the 12-15% neighborhood, roughly the same as a typical wine.
We Swedish still eat pickled herring every Midsummer and Christmas, we think is pretty good haha and cured salmon of course for everyday lunch... I am not sure about Bison meat, we don't have Bison here, elk or moose maybe. Cool video!

Big recommendation, keep your mead in a dark room, if you increase the pressure on the flask you gain more ester, which means ins more fruity/floral... You can also add in some other tricks, but I also recommend the yeast dtarot recommended, also honey types make a difference, just ask GPT or some Mead guy (Man Made Mead) (Golden Hive Mead)
To be fair to max with the rowing. Longships had sails. they rowed when they did not have the wind in their favor or when in calm waters. Also it wasnt just one person rowing they had a team of rowers. But yeah mainly sails carried them that far. and it took about a week to do. So he did very admirable for what it was.
Can’t imagine Vikings using that amount of pepper, if any amount at all. Your Dutch mother must know the expression “peperduur” as refering to the exclusivety of the spice back in the days.
Vikings actually did not have horns on their helmet, it was only added later on by a Danish painter in paintings to make them look more scary. Great content though, that's a very weird way of making skyr. i would highly recommend if you ever visit Iceland that you stop by Erpstaðir, its a fantastic place/farm were you can buy great Ice Cream (even some weird ice cream like dandelion Ice cream), skyr, skyr confectonary, and cheeses and more stuff. also not to farm from that place is the birthplace of Leif the Lucky, where you can get a show/tour about the house that's there (replica house of what Erik the Red father of Leif the Lucky built) and how they lived including food and more. also there's lots of interesting Icelandic food to try.
Salted cod is used today too - a lot of Caribbean people cook with it. Normally though, there's wayyyyy more salt on the cod and it's usually soaked or rinsed to get rid of the harsh salty taste before you cook with it.
Here's a Challenge Max. So this challenge is from the tv series called "Kings of the Wild". The show composed of one expert survivalist/trapper and a chef surviving in the wild for three days, their goal of course is to survive three days(actually sorry it's 7 days), but in their last day, they must EAT like KINGS only having foraged veggies/fruits and caught wild animals. So maybe you wanna put in the next level?, you can also add nick or guga on your team, and one Expert at Survival 😁
“This is at least 20% ABV…” 🤣🤣🤣 Bread yeast like that Fleischmann's will literally die in a solution of 8% alcohol by volume. _Maybe_ 10% if you’re lucky. You’d have to be using a very fancy wine brewer’s yeast to get anywhere _near_ 20%.
gotta love the inaccuracies, 1) Vikings did not wear horned helmets, thats a modern trope along with this, they would have very light armor absolutely nothing made of any sort of metal 2) Vikings were on general shorter than european peasants, with there being exceptions to the rule obviously, but as throughout history there were just some absolute behemoths from every corner of the earth 3) Feasts like this would only occur after a successful raid, with raids taking months to sometimes over a year depending on the target to plan and commit to, these were not a common occurance. 4) they were not rowing all the way across, they would use wind power for most of it
For added authenticity you could've saved the whey and fermented that as well, making a drink called blaand. It's associated with viking culture, even if there's no direct proof they made any, but it's parmesan-flavored wine.
The funniest part of this video is 5:33 obviously he was joking with the caught fish because he was shaking it around like it was fighting him but what makes it even better is that the fish was already gutted and cleaned xD
15:45 if you study for a while, you will find out that the vikings actually took longer voyages than that one to catch up with the winds to take them to England. So yeah, there's was way more a bit of rowing than what you did, but also there was a time to rest after you caught winds.
The salted cod is suposed to be boiled bone and flesh in, We have this all The time at home and you basically drone The fish in salt without doing anything and then chopp it up and eat with potatoes
The medieval flatbread bread we get at medieval markets here in Sweden tends to be spiced with caraway or fennel. We kind of associate it with the middle ages. So you could definitely have put some spice in the flatbread.
Could you do a spirit making video? What are the things you need to look out for when making alcohol with fruit? I've read somewhere that you shouldn't ferment fruit as it makes ethyl alcohol which is the lethal version of alcohol.
Day 1. Skyr, ready on day 3; Day 2. Mead, ready on month 2; Day 3 Pickled Herring, ready on day 8. Turns out these Vikings were planners more than raiders, just to keep fed!
That bread is what we eat on a daily basis in India, it is exactly like roti. We don't add any eggs, yogurt, yeast or anything else. Just flour and water.
well, Beef/bison was not often consumed as the cattle was more used as work animals. What you should have used is Lamb or Mutton for the stew, as allot of sheep was herded for the wool for clothing. also made allot of meat. Goat was also common but more for the milk and help clearing land for crop farming. Also allot more smoked and dried fish
Well, it could be a stand-in for european bison (which until the late middle ages did also live in Denmark and the south of Sweden). It would basically just be game meat, since european bison weren't domesticated. That aside, even though cattle weren't really kept for meat, they'd still end up on the plate then on a semi-regular basis, simply because they were kept for milk and because work animals don't live forever, either. And if you've got tough meat from an old work oxen or milk cow, it would certainly be better in a stew than as a steak.
@@darthplagueis13 you are correct, as a Norwegian i tend to forget the Danish and Swedes also were vikings at some point and had access to more cattle then the Norwegians had
Norwegians conquered much of ireland, scotland, northeren engeland (to a less degree than danes). Isle of man, Faroe Islands, shetland. Just to mention a few examples. They settled iceland, greenland and went to north america. They also raided large part of europe all they way to africa and the middle east. A norwegian king, Harald Hardrada, is extremely lengendary for his adventures, many of them in England. He raised a huge army, that ultimately lost at the battle of Stamford Bridge. But weakened the Anglo-Saxons enough to probably play a significant part in wilhelm the conquerers conquest, just days later. Given the conditions of the north sea and norwegian sea they probably invented the concept, especially regarding the boats etc. Most likely on the westen coast. The boat tech etc then spread to the larger cultural area. "Vik" meant anything from bay to fjord, Viking probably ment "someone dwelling in bays/fjords". This obviously points to the west coast of norway. Still legendary to this day for its huge, long fjords and rough weather and sea conditions. Most people think of vikings from all the relevant countries. But maybe the swedes that mainly went up the rivers to central and eastern europe might be slightly less famous due to a lack of written scources.
As a Newfoundlander where salting fish is a common practice, the version you ate does not look right hahaha, I think its something you need to actually do outside, with a heavier salt, etc.

Goat was also common but more for the milk and help clearing land for crop farming.
Also allot more smoked and dried fish
Well, it could be a stand-in for european bison (which until the late middle ages did also live in Denmark and the south of Sweden). It would basically just be game meat, since european bison weren't domesticated.
That aside, even though cattle weren't really kept for meat, they'd still end up on the plate then on a semi-regular basis, simply because they were kept for milk and because work animals don't live forever, either.
And if you've got tough meat from an old work oxen or milk cow, it would certainly be better in a stew than as a steak.
@@darthplagueis13 you are correct, as a Norwegian i tend to forget the Danish and Swedes also were vikings at some point and had access to more cattle then the Norwegians had
Vikings didn't have horns on their helmet. Nevertheless an amazing video, thanks!
1 minute in and I'm laughing my ass off because of that cow 😂
Americans: Norway = vikings = Norway. When you typically think of vikings, you're thinking about the danish vikings, the ones who conquered england.
Norwegians conquered much of ireland, scotland, northeren engeland (to a less degree than danes). Isle of man, Faroe Islands, shetland. Just to mention a few examples.
They settled iceland, greenland and went to north america. They also raided large part of europe all they way to africa and the middle east.
A norwegian king, Harald Hardrada, is extremely lengendary for his adventures, many of them in England. He raised a huge army, that ultimately lost at the battle of Stamford Bridge. But weakened the Anglo-Saxons enough to probably play a significant part in wilhelm the conquerers conquest, just days later.
Given the conditions of the north sea and norwegian sea they probably invented the concept, especially regarding the boats etc. Most likely on the westen coast. The boat tech etc then spread to the larger cultural area. "Vik" meant anything from bay to fjord, Viking probably ment "someone dwelling in bays/fjords". This obviously points to the west coast of norway. Still legendary to this day for its huge, long fjords and rough weather and sea conditions.
Most people think of vikings from all the relevant countries. But maybe the swedes that mainly went up the rivers to central and eastern europe might be slightly less famous due to a lack of written scources.
As a Newfoundlander where salting fish is a common practice, the version you ate does not look right hahaha, I think its something you need to actually do outside, with a heavier salt, etc.
I dont think bro realizes how devious that cow part was
8:55 its literally paratha man 😭😭
11:30 wish you had still procured some birch bark, it really imparts a flavor iconic to scandinavia, same with elderberries hawthorn and seabuckthorn.
The picture of you was taken in madurodam, right?
😅
If more people Barbecued, there'd be no war.
The bison would have been beef. Bison are native only in North America.
8:53 that's "roti" right there it's a normal daily food in India
Also known as "chapati" in english
