Today, we are taking one of Skyrim’s most broken alchemy recipes and turning it into a real-life Resist Frost Potion! By pairing real caramelized pie pumpkin with a blend of warming spices and sweet clover honey, we are crafting a rich, 14%+ high-ABV pumpkin spice mead designed to take the edge off the winter chill.

Whether you are here for the deep Elder Scrolls Skyrim easter egg or you want a complete tutorial on making pumpkin spice mead from scratch (or both!), this homebrew walkthrough covers it all: rehydrating Lalvin EC-1118 yeast with Go-Ferm, aerating must with power tools, preparing pumpkin, using a brew bag, and taking hydrometer gravity readings.
