▲ 2 r/mead
Opening up our first mead after almost 2 years - what to expect?
My daughter turns 18 next month. Just under two years ago we got my dad a brewing kit and made some mead (nothing special, honey, water, yeast, nutrient and cinnamon) with the intent of opening it up for her 18th (Legal drinking age here in Oz)
It's getting close to the date, and because its our first attempt, i'm really not sure what to expect. We ended up with four bottles (i think they are 750ml each) so we have some options.
As a non-drinker myself, is mead typically chilled? Room temp? With ice? Warmed somehow? Since we have a few bottles, is it worth trying it several ways or is one a stand-out.
Also, what can we learn from the day? What did I look for to improve (like, does it just evaporate from the tongue, is it sour or sweet etc?)
