Ragnarok Meads

New Pagan is basically done! Did a filter and added the oak today. Came out to ~11% and tastes amazing. Apples, cherries, prunes, buckwheat honey, mugwort, yarrow, and elderflower. The honey is stronger and more present than in previous recipe. Same fruit, same honey, same measurements, different herbs. Ragnarok provides the best Mead experience you can imagine, with flavors and techniques that are thousands of years old. The way Ragnarok makes mead isn’t like any winery or typical mead enthusiast, we add no chemicals or additives of any kind, and have a truly deep passion for our product.

This year, already, has been hectic. Im sorry to say we have no summer events on our calendar nor will I be making any new meads until winter or possibly spring of next year. The next event we will attend is Oktoberfest at the Madonna center this year. What we will have available is the 793 (Oktoberfest braggot), the new formulated Pagan!, and some amazing pink lemonade mead (a video on the making of it is available on our YouTube channel).

The revised Pagan recipe will be a Gruit melomel with mugwort, yarrow, elderflower, buckwheat honey, apples, cherries, and plums. Essentially the same as before, but I traded out the Greek herbs for true Scandinavian Viking era herbs. Started bubbling today so I’m excited, it always feels like I’m waiting for a baby to be born haha
