Recently I did a
great interview with a man who lives all over the ocean. He go's by the handle
of Norsely and his pictures are displayed here on this page. You can click them
and head to his Instagram page, and I highly suggest doing so because his pictures
are just lovely. Not only was he possibly the most interesting man I ever had
the pleasure of talking to but he was a wealth of knowledge about mead making
among other things like history and
globetrotting.
Mead is a type of
fermentation that was used notably by non other then the Viking and the
Norsemen of Europe.
We did get to
talking about a starter kit you may be interested in checking out.
He had suggested to
refrain from using a Champaign yeast or a wine yeast - and to stick towards ale
yeasts. There is more on that topic in the interview above.
Some of the items in
the kit outside of ale yeast- are as follows ----
A hydrometer to
monitor your alcohol percentages
Hydrometer - This is a Triple Scale Hydrometer for Home Brewing - Beer and Wine Making - Test Density, Alcohol and Brix - Guaranteed Accurate

Bottles ( though he
expressed fermentation can even begin with the simplest of containers and even
an apple juice container would do) Glass Wine Fermenter Includes Rubber Stopper and Airlock, 1 gallon Capacity
Norsely was also
keen to recommend "the best honey you could buy", and to experiment
with your choices and flavors.
