Different: this shape and this construction don’t match. Technique hollowing out is 11- 2th century, the waist is 13th century, so should be steam and bent veneer
Daria von Drachenwald
Mead. Putting cold water into honey you fire caramelised honey mskes a 2 meter high plume
Wood ring, with yeast. Many in middle ages thought it was the wood that did it.
She comes from Texas, so her yeast loves heat. Hang the wood to dry, and it is ready next time.
Meadowsweet and honey drops on Hedeby ceramics points to mead making
Daria doesn’t drink, just brews.
Bochet, killed her first yeast, so used commercial distllery yeast, and that took, but probably a different flavour. Next time will stone brew beer to get the foam as per period recipe

I didn’t get to talk with Baroness Alfhild of Gotvik, who was busy engaged in conversation when I went by the first time, and by the time I made it back to their end table her Baron and partner, Matti was alone at that end of the tale, and explained that she wasn’t feeling well, and had returned to their room to rest in hopes of being able to sit court later.
