Just in time for Yule feasting, my own vintage of red-raspberry honey wine. That’s mead, or melomel to be technical. It turned out rather drier than I expected, but has a nice finish that leaves you wanting more (if I do say so myself.) I call it a success for my first attempt at home brewing.

Praise be to the All-Father. (And my respects to Loki, Fire-Bringer.) But for her beauty and her grace I have named the mead Freyja in her honor.
