Valheim mead guide: How to make mead

Before you can make mead, you need to create a couple of crafting stations to use for its preparation. Here’s what you’ll need:

Once you’ve built these, you can get started. Assuming you’ve got the ingredients for a mead recipe, you can start by creating its mead base at your cauldron. Once you’ve made it, take the base over to your fermenter and allow the mead base to start fermenting. You’ll need to wait two in-game days for the mead base to finish fermenting. Once the required time has passed, go back to the fermenter and activate it to obtain the finished mead. Each mead base will yield six drinkable mead, so keep this in mind when planning out your inventory.
