#Honey wine

[scalpelfightclub]

Make things. Make things that you can share with your friends and those you care for. I made, in a fit of brewing madness, a burnt mead (not actually burnt, just caramelized honey) and gave a bottle to my friends as a housewarming gift. 9 years later, on a cold winter night while we all ate takeout, my friend produced the bottle with a flourish and a smile. We drank delicious, smooth, caramelized and sunshine-y mead and talked about how things have changed, how we had changed, and how we care for each other. Make things and share them with people you care about.

Soma, the divine plant and drink of the Vedic gods. Confers power, vitality, wisdom, healer of ailments, and bestower of riches.

A divine drink. But, what was it? The stories tell us it was a drink made from honey likely and a plant that had to be distilled.

Soma in fact means in Sanskrit: distill, extract, sprinkle. Sounds like words to brew up a...brew.

Interestingly enough, though, scholars theorize that part of the drink was most definitely honey, and....magic mushrooms. Magic Mushroom wine, in fact.

Now, another interesting tidbit is that the Zoroastrians had a similar drink called Haoma - which scholars also theorize was made along the same lines and had the same benefits.

Does divine honey wine sound familiar? <Mead has entered the chat>

Then there is the Greek Ambrosia, nectar of the gods (NECTAR) that can grant immortality, just like some of the drinks I mentioned from other myths.

Here we get into some actual comparative mythology stuff as the concept of immortality linked to drinks exists in written in the Greek and Vedic with the word ambrosia being semantically linked to amṛta - concept of immortality -- food/drink to reach that path. This makes sense because the words come from the proto indo european: ṇ-mṛ-tós, "un-dying".

Many of the early epics seem to feature some kind of overall divine healing plant or divine drink that empowers its heroes. Why is that?

Simple as people just loved booze and the idea of super magic special booze? "Honey, I'm not drinking...I'm communing with god to make the strongest of our bloodline!!!! I SWEAR."

Or...was it something else? Is there a shared older story beat that all these epics draw from?

Right now? People still figuring that out. But there are _some_ connections. And they're fascinating.

(As I don't drink, you'll have to tell me if getting sloshed on honey wine has given you power, magic, healed you, or let you see god.)

In the Vedic stories, the Artisan and craftsman god, Tvashtr, creates this magical drink, along with Indra's lightning bolt (that myth sound familiar?), the creator of forms, living wombs, and oh, he creates vritra, the three-headed asura dragon that captures and holds hostage the waters of the world and is slain by Indra. Vritra becomes so dangerous and empowered by, you guessed it, drinking all the Soma at Tvashtrs house.

Man found the unlimited rare candy glitch. -_-

so it was a late post for sure but its done! The child has been racked /filtered by cheesecloth/ bottled and preserved

weirdly a bit spicy in flavor but not "hot" feeling (ginger/ ginseng/ tangerine peels/ sugar cane/ raspberries/ orange blossom honey)

abv= 15% which is 1% higher then strain stated tolerance

sorbate and campden to preserve and now to age

its been an exhausting past few days, that and the fasting on my part is done also. Its time to rest a bit

Wedding mead bottled!

I chose to make some Joe's ancient orange for the wedding. It came out with stronger clove notes and a bit less sweet than normal, but I'm very happy with it. Hopefully the guests like it as much as I do.

taking a break from my essay to focus on jarring my own piss

making wine at home is like having a constantly burping roommate.
