As previously mentioned, we're four anthropology students on a mission to make mead and meat like the Vikings did. It's been really fun so far, and incredibly interesting!
One major takeaway: thank god for Liquor Plus! Fermenting is time consuming. All joking aside, we've really been enjoying the fermentation process. We'll update you soon on our mead's progress.
We've undertaken the task of Viking mead and meat production for a Viking archeology class. Take a look at some of the other projects that groups are tackling!
1) Viking Metallurgy: http://henryjonesapprentices.tumblr.com/
This group is attempting to re-create the small Thor's hammers that have been found throughout Scandinavia. They look like they've been having a lot of fun with this! Their blog is easy to follow and is filled with fabulous visual aids.

2) Viking Wires: http://vikingwires.tumblr.com/
This group is attempting to experiment in a type of Viking chain-making, called Trichinopoly. It seems like a pretty difficult task! So far they've been doing an excellent job in tracking their trials and tribulations.

3) Viking Mead and Bread: http://vikingmeadandbread.blogspot.ca/
This group is also experimenting with mead-making. They're doing things a little different that we are. They've done a great job documenting their mead-making process so far.
It's been interesting to see other group's participation in experimental archeology. We can't wait to see the final result!
