Kveik is a hot topic the last few years. Not gonna call it a hype at this point of writing this blogpost. And when something is this popular there are misconceptions as well. Not saying that I’m right or have all the proper knowledge.
But I would love to point out some basics about ‘kveik’. Kveik, not kviek!
Let’s start with a statement; kveik is not a style! A lot of people believe that kveik is some sort of beer style. I can understand why people think it is. Because breweries are mentioning the word kveik on their packaged beer. Like a ‘kveik IPA’. What the proper way of mentioning should be, in my opinion, will follow later in this not-scientific-article.

![New mead in the making. Focusing on more warming flavors like vanilla, cinnamon and maple. This mead will a bit more heavy then the previous pilot batches. Aiming for 14% abv.

The idea came from a picture of a French sweet breakfast. It looked so appealing and delicious that it inspired me to try a mead with these kind of flavors. Warming, sweet and comfort. What do you think?!

Cheers!⠀

![Yesterday we started prepping some extra fruit for a second addition to my berry mead. For this second maceration we did add some pectinase. Now, almost 24 hours later, the fruit is almost completely eaten by the enzymes.
\
We did help it a bit with crushing the fruit, but at this point it's almost pure juice. And the aroma is insane already. Can't wait to put the mead in and give those berries a swim!

Cheers!⠀
