Brewer: [[Magnús hvalmagi]]<br />
<br />
Recipe Name: A 6th Century CE Hopped Mead Based on the Trossingen 58 Grave Find<br />
<br />
Category: Division 2<br />
<br />
Time/Place Paneled: EK Brew U, April 2014<br />
<br />
Panel Score: 96<br />
<br />
==Background and Basis==<br />
<br />
In 2001/2002, a grave find at Trossingen, Germany was unearthed. The grave contained a human corpse with a number of well-preserved wooden artifacts, among them a bottle made of maple. Dendrochronological analysis puts the date of the grave at 580 CE. A booklet detailing aspects of the find was published in 2010, and recently became available outside of the museum where the find is housed. <br />
<br />
The maple bottle contained numerous (~3500) pollen grains from various plant sources, including cereals, grape, bee activities, and hops.<br />
<br />
I analyzed the pollen grains and, using a variety of research and assumptions, attempted to map the pollen content to mass of ingredients and from that reconstruct a plausible recipe for the product that may have been contained in the bottle.<br />
<br />
==Ingredients and Process (~2 liter batch size)==<br />
<br />
65 grams hopped leaven biscuit (~2/3 cup)<br />
<br />
1 lb wildflower honey (~1 1/3 cup)<br />
<br />
Lalvin EC-1118 yeast<br />
<br />
A leaven biscuit was prepared by mixing 63 g ground malted grain (ground in a rotary hand quern constructed of concrete) with old wine (made from commercial grape juice and Lalvin EC-1118) in sufficient quantity (approx. 100 mL) to make a dough. 2 grams of ground Hallertau hop pellets were mixed in with the biscuit, and the mass was baked at 200F until it was completely dry. Additional Lalvin EC-1118 was mixed into the dried biscut, as I was uncertain as to the health and vitality of the yeast in the wine.<br />
<br />
65 g of biscuit mix was placed in a sanitized growler, and 1 cup of warm water was poured onto it. Biscuit was allowed to sit overnight to begin fermentation. 1 1/3 cup of honey was added along with 5 1/3 cup water (a 1:4 honey:water ratio by volume). It was discovered during processing that 65 g of biscuit occupied a volume of 2/3 of a cup, and that 1 lb of the honey occupied roughly twice that volume – so a proportionate ingredient system is evidenced (1 part grain, 2 parts honey, 8 parts water). The mixture was allowed to ferment for 4 days before being transferred to an appropriate container for presentation.<br />
<br />
==Ingredient Notes==<br />
<br />
I used honey that I had on hand. I do not recall if it was local raw honey or commercially-purchased honey, as it was in an unmarked container. I had previously prepared the malt for a different event where I would be demonstrating the rotary grain quern I had constructed; this malt was prepared by steeping barley in water, turning for several days, and drying in my oven. The malt was ground in the quern and not bolted (sifted) afterwards; this lead to an extremely crumbly “biscuit” that did not hold together well. Hallertau was selected as the hop because it’s a noble German variety, and I felt it would probably be the closest commercially-available option I could obtain.<br />

[https://thedraughtsaredeep.wordpress.com/2014/03/19/historical-brewing-201-ok-sometimes-its-as-hard-as-you-think/ The attached document] (which is quite lengthy) details the model of interpretation I used when interpreting the evidence. Several assumptions have been made in order to do this.<br />
<br />
The biscuit processing method comes from descriptions of leavening in Pliny’s ''Naturalis Historia'' '' ''and my own research into pre-1000 CE brewing methodology. Pliny’s method calls for grape must from the time of vintage (which would contain live yeast); as grapes do not really grow where I live, nor are they readily available, I substituted a still-fermenting wine that I happened to have on hand. Additional yeast was added to the biscuit to ensure fermentation, as the wine was somewhat old. While I was unable to determine the plausible mass of grape must that would account for the pollen representation in the bottle, we do know that self-pollinating plants (like the grape) produce far less pollen than wind or insect-pollinated plants. It seems reasonable that it would take 10x as much grape mass as hop mass to produce the same amount of pollen.<br />
