Unlock the mead-brewing secrets of the ancient Norse with homesteader, fermentation enthusiast, and self-described "Appalachian Yeti Viking" Jereme Zimmerman. In Make Mead Like a Viking, Zimmerman shows how to embrace the traditional Nordic culture and rituals surrounding mead through experimentation in fermentation and flavor.
