Just registered to say Skyrim influenced my decision to try mead and now my hand at home-brewing.
16L spring water
3L apple juice
~5kg local honey
~600g Manuka honey
fistful of cinnamon sticks
25g DAP
EC-1118 yeast
Now my pantry smells awesome!
Hmm, sounds good. I was trying to remember if any "hints" had been dropped in-game regarding ingredients.
the nightshade featured in game is clearly a toxic variety. Thorn apple I believe. It's included in the drink called a cliff racer (I assume) because it's a stimulant and mild psychotropic. Not because it's a good idea. But I dig what you're getting at.
both green and red apples are prominent in game, grapes exist, the sweetroll suggests cinnamon exists as well. just my two bits.

I played skyrim for about a week and decided I needed to make these for my next two brews.
I kind of liked the spiders. They made it a little edgy
Hey I really like your labels, do you have any higher-res versions of them to print out? Specifically the one with the spiders? thx
Nightshade - Green or red tomatoes, peppers, potatoes and eggplant are all nontoxic versions. I have also seen recipes for wines made with these.

First and foremost, I am excited about where this thread may go. I promised a friend (who also plays Skyrim) that I would formulate recipes for him, here's what I came up with:
Blackbriar Mead - Blackberry/Raspberry/Blueberry melomel, for reasons detailed by others. 5-gallon batch with 13 lbs honey, fermenting away in my closet now since the 4th.
Honningbrew Mead - Dunno why, but I was totally thinking spiced Cyser on this one. Could be the barrels of apples I found at the meadery. Gonna be a standard cyser with cloves and cinnamon, perhaps some Earl Grey?
I also want to make a juniper mead called Vidol's, based on the opening sequence to the game, but I'm gonna start that one in a 1-gallon batch to see how it tastes, lol.
We're on the same page. My honningbrew is about 2 weeks into its primary. adding cloves, (ginger too maybe?), and cinnamon in the secondary so as not to blow off the more delicate aeromatics.
After researching the Black briar more it would seem to be a metheglin but I like it better as lightly spiced a melomel. maybe a touch of cinnamon in your black briar in the secondary. like a pie. It is also oak aged as stated by the fellow at the front desk. casks designed by maven herself.
Terrible idea. it is a POPULAR mead. none of these would make for a drink with such popularity. As was already mentioned, The in game nightshade leaves itself open to no such interpretations.It is clearly a toxic variety.
