Love this! I also love long pepper. I recently got some to add to a no-water cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant mead. The fruitiness of the peppwr is so great!
Dude this is such a cool video, on the tea thing I'd recommend using Russian Caravan, it's a smoky tea that might add a bit more of the smokiness you're looking for
I thought this might be based on the dragon's breath mead recipe by City Steading Brews which is built around berries and jalepeño's, though I don't think their's is inspired by Skyrim, but this is very interesting too. They have a lot of very good videos about brewing mead and other things. I wonder if you could improve your recipe further with their insights. Technique-wise they tend to go with making brews go dry then later backsweetening as opposed to aiming for some residual sweetness. I could see that working out well with a recipe like this too.
I agree on the backsweetening - I just stuck to the residuals on this one so it still follows the Elder Scrolls Cookbook’s general brewing style! I do have a couple upcoming ones that absolutely required backsweetening though…
It's too bad i couldn't finish the quest because the bottles would disappear into the ground before I could get them making the quest unbeatable due to a bug
So I’m just watching this, why did I think this whole entire time you and I were the same age?! 😂(I’m older than you) that aside though, great video as always dude, love the Solstheim music, and it’s been so awesome watching your channel grow!!
Thanks Jess, hoping the channel continues to do so! Glad you got a chance to watch it and yes, the facial hair adds a few years I think 😂 I look like a baby without it. Also, the more whimsical Solstheim / Morrowind tunes really hit different...
The juniper berries are for the Ashfire mead from Thirsk I think :o
...🤫

The fruitiness is definitely a welcome surprise in the long pepper!

Classic 😂 that’s why I like Bethesda games on PC - I can just fix it with code in the console commands myself…
Very interesting, im definitely going to look into elder flowers for a mead
I see you putting those Avatar Flameo edits in 🔥I'll take 10 barrels of your finest Dragon's Breath, sir!
"Flameo, sir. Flame-y-OH."
As soon as you said "yeasty friends crave" I thought of Brawndo Mead. Horrifying.
It has what people crave!
I infused calendula in olive oil for a salve I make; it always smells like bread when heated up.
There's definitely a certain breadiness to it!
