 In late 2023 Josh decided to try his hand at making homemade alcohol after watching some videos. Cobe’s love of [[activities:drinking|drinking]] and the rising cost of alcohol started the homemade wine/mead saga that would last to this day. Cobes claims to be descended from Scottish/Norwegian Vikings on top of being 80% British, thereby staking his claim to meadmaking as part of his culture.
-While starting off relatively tame and primitive, using only basic household ingredients and equipment he had on hand, Cobra’s meads would become increasingly outlandish and bizarre as his setup improved, resulting in potions of dark boglimancy that would be fatal if consumed by a mortal man. To date nearly all of Cobra’s meads have been extremely dank and not of-age, however, since entering the [[sagas:the_trailer_saga|trailer saga]], Josh’s creations may be taking a turn towards being milder in dankness.

 There are some recurring themes of Cobra’s meads:

 After adding most of the ingredients to his bottle, Josh would shake his mead vigorously before trying to insert bacon bits through his funnel, leading to the famous cobraism “bacon’s clogging up the funnel”. Josh argued that since the bacon bits were already cooked and cured, they wouldn’t go funky in the mead. With that done, Cobra would add the peanut butter before finally topping up his drink with mango juice and spending almost an entire two minutes desperately shaking the bottle to attempt, and fail, to mix the extremely viscous and solid chunks now present in his mead. The resulting mixture would come to resemble jenkem, a hallucinogenic drug made from fermented human waste. Unsatisfied with the absolute viscosity of his creation, Josh then drank some of it, chewing on the solid bits that ended up in his mouth before topping off the bottle with additional mango juice. Cobra added an entire packet of yeast to his initial mead, this time using 10x the recommended amount per volume. Josh would use the same balloon airlock as he did with the previous two meads, although his first drilled cap fell into the drain and he had to use a spare. Satisfied with his jenkem wine, Josh would leave it to ferment in his mead closet. Being the first of the true boglim meads, Josh would claim in a video uploaded the next day that it was a halloween-themed mead, and that he might leave it to ferment until the 31st.
-In a mead update video the next day, Josh stated that the mead had once again foamed up into the balloon, leading him to have to drain out some of it, add tap water to make it more liquid, and change the balloon, it is what is is. Josh then added a **second** packet of yeast, in total using 20x the recommended amount. Unable to resist his delicious monstrosity, Josh drank some of his mead to “drain off some of the liquid to give it room to burp”. With absolutely no care for hygiene, Josh filtered the bacon bits with his teeth, using his fingers to push any solids back in the neck of the bottle and licking them clean, and even licking the inside of the cap. Cobra really enjoyed the taste of the pre-fermented mead. A few hours later, the mead overflowed into the balloon AGAIN, and Josh uploaded a new video, unscrewing the lid a little to let it burp. Josh then licked the cap and held the balloon in his mouth before replacing it. Josh uploaded a third video on October 7, showing off the inflating mead balloon. Josh also stated that he had acquired some turbo yeast.

 The jenkem mead was spotted on the 14th of October in a closet with meads #5 and #6. In the same video Cobra showed off some winemaking jars with airlocks sent by the fans. The mead made more appearances in a homemade mead update video on the 16th, in some shorts dated 8th and 13th of October in the fermenting closet, and again in a video on the 19th where Cobra stated that some of it exploded into his sink (most of the mead remained and was returned to the closet).

 **Verdict:** Mead #6 was [[https://youtu.be/_PmAX43ZfR0?feature=shared|sampled]] on October 19, proclaimed to be delicious, and then sipped on for the next 12 days until Halloween, when it [[https://youtu.be/oVQl81cFIr0?feature=shared|appeared again]] nearly empty. Cobra found the mead “really good”, and would “absolutely remake it”. It has been confirmed in a correspondence with Josh that **this is his favourite mead he’s ever made**, and was remade as mead #14 and given the name Apple Silk. This is to date the only mead deemed worthy of a remake.

 On the 23rd of October, 2023, Josh concocted arguably the most powerful magic potion to have graced the earth, sending shockwaves across the winemaking world and inspiring cobra cultists worldwide to attempt to replicate it.
