    Hi, I'm new to the forum but have my first one gallon batch of mead currently bubbling away in my pantry right now. I bought a bottle of Viking Blød and enjoyed it very much. Being a Danish - American pretty much makes it illegal not to purchase something called Viking Blød that is bolted in...
