I brewed 5 bottles of mead this March, and I'm ready to share them with my family over the holidays. Should they be served chilled or at room temperature?
Same here. Even wines, bourbons, and whiskeys that are meant to be served at room temperature, I still prefer chilled.I prefer all of my meads chilled.
Hi,I brewed 5 bottles of mead this March, and I'm ready to share them with my family over the holidays. Should they be served chilled or at room temperature?
Thanks. I tried it chilled, and it was delicious. This was my first mead. Mostly, I was glad it didn't taste like lighter fluid.Hi,
You may have already enjoyed your meads, but I guess New Years is coming too... IMO, it really depends on the mead, and the person. I have one mead that is not my best result ever, but certainly still enjoyable. I found it was better slightly chilled. I enjoy most of my Trads at just about room temp.
You may have a mead that tastes good chilled, and at room temp, but definitely tastes different depending on the temperature. That said, experiment and see how it goes.
Hey! It's probably just me, but lately, it seems a slightly chilled mead brings out more of the oak. I don't necessarily taste less, but the oak seems more pronounced. Obviously, that can impact the balance of the mead on the palate.As with everything, cold causes your taste buds to taste less.
Glad it turned out well for you. That's always my first test for success --> my wife and I have to like itThanks. I tried it chilled, and it was delicious. This was my first mead. Mostly, I was glad it didn't taste like lighter fluid.
