Authentic Irish Mead

[wild]

I'll gladly post my thoughts, but I too am a mead virgin! Which brings me to a question... I've done some searching on the net but can't find a consistent answer, should the mead be chilled? Is that just a matter of personal preference?

The rule of thumb is mead should be chilled like wine. The drier it is, the closer it should be to room temp.
Sparkling meads can be chilled down to low to mid 40°F’s where still meads can be served at low to mid 50°F’s.
But then I've had judges request in many different ways so it really depends on you.

Even better, you can mix it with the malt and have a honey ale.

Otherwise known as a Braggot. Very tasty on cheese cake and french toast.
