Well, I just watched the Lord or the Rings again and the geek inspired imagination hit. Not to mention the Dungeon and Dragon fan excitement popped. So here is my Idea for a Dwarven inspired Mead.

Drakk Gorog (dwarven for Dragon Spirit)
Predicted OG:1.204
Volume: 6.5 Gallons
35 lb Honey
Lalvin K1-V1116 Starter
3 gal Cranberry Juice Primary
5 lb Strawberries Primary
7 lb Canned Cherries Primary
3 tsp Pectic Enzyme Primary
2 tsp DAP Primary
2 tsp Fermaid-K Primary
3 tsp Potassium Sorbate Secondary

Going for a high ABV due to being inspired by a drink made by the Dwarves of Lonely Mountain. what do you think?

This one is inspired by the Man and Hobbits

Steelforged Stout
Predicted OG:1.081
Volume: 5 Gallons
3.3 lb Liquid Malt Extract - Amber - US
1 lb Crystal 120L - CA
1 lb Special B - BE
1 lb Smoked Malt - US
4 lb Molasses - US
1 lb Roasted Barley - US
1 lb Chocolate Wheat Malt - DE 33
1 lb Centennial Pellet Boil 60minutes
1 lb Cascade Pellet Boil 60minutes
1.5 lb Cascade Pellet Boil 20minutes
3 gal Apple Cider Primary
Wyeast American Ale 1056
And last of all, one for the Elves

Irrisen Icewine
Predicted OG:1.167
Starting Volume: 6.5
Ending Volume:????

10 lb Honey - US
16 lb Table Sugar - Sucrose - US
6 gal Pineapple juice Primary
10 lb Strawberries Primary
3 tsp DAP Primary
4 tsp Pectic Enzyme Primary
3 tsp Fermaid-K Primary

i definitely love the inspiration for this!

not really a comment on the recipe, but 35 lbs of honey is going to be expensive. i did a mead years ago with 18 lbs or so, and it was around $100 bucks

the second recipe looks to be really high in specialty malts. i'd suggest bumping those down a bit, maybe even getting rid of one or 2. i think either the C120 or special B could be taken out. I know they're a bit different, but their contribution might get lost or muddled in the final product

and i have no experience with icewine, but 16 lbs of sugar seems like an awful lot. unless you like'em dry!
