I once brewed mead following a roman recipe. There's something special about brewing something that people have been getting drunk with for thousands of years!
You should try fermenting them in clay vessels as it lends a different taste profile to them. I line mine using a resin-wax blend to make it easier to maintain and it seems to improve the taste as well.
In the troughs made with bur grass, there is sweet beer. I will have the cupbearers, the boys and the brewers stand by. As I spin around the lake of beer, while feeling wonderful, feeling wonderful, while drinking beer, in a blissful mood, while drinking alcohol and feeling exhilarated, with joy in the heart and a contented liver -- my heart is a heart filled with joy! I clothe my contented liver in a garment fit for a queen! The heart of Inana is happy once again; the heart of Inana is happy once again!
I've never had mead, but I know it's more like wine rather than beer. Braggot seems to be a mix between mead and beer brewed with malt. But can't say for sure, haven't tasted that either.
@@tableofgods yes mead is similar to wine in that it’s not grain alcohol but just honey water with yeast. And braggot is a beer mead combo. Depends on the amount of honey for sugars; more than %50 percent honey sugar? If so then it’s probably a mead. Being the (probably) oldest fermentation, even before Mesopotamian beers, it may interest you to try it. Add 1.5 pounds of honey to one of them gallon carboys your sister got, fill to the gallon mark, add good brewers yeast and you’ll have a mead around 7-8%. Also, you should have syphoned the beer off the lees, that yeast cake at the bottom of your jug..
Basically, everything sounds logical. Only have one question before I try to recreate this recipe. What are the approximate amounts of spices and date syrup you used? I assume you keep adding the syrup until you get the desired gravity?
I don’t know if you’ll see this, but I hope you do. There are 2 TH-camrs from Australia who call themselves Anything4Views and MaxMoeFoe who have a channel together called Cold Ones. It started as a spinoff of Hot Ones, the show where they make celebrities eat increasingly spicy wings. On Cold Ones, they give their guests alcohol. If you were able to collaborate with them, I think it would get you a lot more viewers and I think they’d love to have you, especially if you bring your ancient beer.

The only beers I have ever been able to stand were hop-less beers. I might try one of these!
Same here! You should :D

Agree!

Thanks :)
Beer brewing is not for the faint of heart. My husband tried and thankfully most of the beer came out great. However, it was a lot of work.
Haha, I know exactly what you mean :)
Beer was first brewed in Sumer.
interesting!
😊🍺
I wonder what they taste like 🤩
The honey beer, would that be a braggot? Or maybe a Mead?

I guessed the honey beer correctly. It wasn't rocket science. Honey makes everything taste better throughout history.
Are those beers or wines(technically)?
Would it be unfair to say that Beer and the materials to produce it could be seen as akin to our economy of oil, or the 18th c. economy of sugar?
please tell me you sell this beer? i live in sydney andi really want to taste it.

For the date beer I used 3 teaspoons of dried coriander and 200 grams of date syrup :)
@@tableofgods thanks for you reply. for what volume of water / wort
@@grechka666 5 liters water, 400 grams base malt, 40 grams caramel malt, and 200 grams bappir (barley bread)
Holy shit, this is content 🚬
Wouldn’t this be a ale? Its had no hops and I believe a beer without hops is ale
If I were to add this beer to a modern category, it would be sour beer :)
@@tableofgods ahhh fair
Sizing with pizza hahahahae.
