Notes: I`m primarily using Heather honey in my mead. At least 60/40 when I use a mix of Heather and Flower honey.

2 liter starter @1.04SG, 2 stage.

Filipendula ulmaria ( called Mead spice locally ) was traditionally used as "flavoring", and is this brews source of tannin. Caution; Filipendula ulmaria is a natural source of salicylic acid. Steep the Filipendula ulmaria in 1 liter of water so that it makes a strong, pungent tea. Add the tea to the fermentor the 3rd day.

Add commercially prepared Apple Must/ Apple Juice ( without preservatives like Potassium Sorbate, Ascorbic Acid is ok tho ) to the fermentor the 3rd day. The pectinase will help break down any pectin.

Leave to ferment for 30 days. Store for an additional year after botteling. Enjoy =)

End notes:
It was, to my best knowledge, uncommon to use hops in mead. Nor was it common to use any kind of malt. Hops, malt and Achillea millefolium ( a hops substitute, called Beer king locally ) was most commonly use for brewing beer ( beer was for every day use and mead for special occasions ).

You could add a small amount of clove, ginger and nutmeg to make the brew spiced as well ( I use these spices with restraint as I do not want my mead to taste like gingerbread ). Boil the spices for 15 minutes and let the Filipendula ulmaria flowers steep to make the tea.

Carbonation was also rare at best, and then only lightly ( due to lack of pressure proof containers ).

Notes: Still aging this one at 8 weeks in secondary. Tried it yesterday and it is out of sight tasty. It is still a little hot with alcohol, but that should age away. This is a recipe to make a big batch of and store it away in some bottles and taste it over time.

Ended up kegging and this thing is wonderful. Nice creamy and stable head on it, plenty of boozy warmth too. Could use a touch more hops to help with balance, but overall one of my favorites that we have made.

Notes: Used two packs of US-05 and fermented in keg. Fermentation never showed itself through the blowoff tube, so I threw a pack of US-04 in a week after brew day. Still no signs of fermentation. The cause of this was later determined to be a leak at the keg's lid.
Cold crashed in keg for five days, dumped yeast, then transferred to serving keg to carb for a week.
This first batch was very orangey, and the coriander seed didn't come through as much as I'd have thought. The extra yeast pitched didn't really seem to have an impact on flavor. All-around, a very tasty brew to have around in the fall.

Notes: This recipe originally started as an "odds and ends" beer (using up the various malts that I had left over from previous recipes).
I later decided to dub this an American strong ale because it uses malts from a wide variety of countries (Belgium, UK, America, Germany) much like America's own heritage! It also utilizes Falconer's Flight hop blend wich showcases the bright, citrusy character of hops native to the Pacific Northwest.
As for the "BearShark" moniker, well that's for me to know and you to try and figure out!
