New to mead making and had a question. I racked from my primary to secondary and the mead looks perfect but smells very hot when I got close to it. It was in primary for 3 weeks and fermented in the normal time. Will it calm down with age? Or is it to soon to tell?

Definitely will calm down with age. I rack off the lees from primary then each time I get to 1/2" of lees or in secondary or until i just can't stand it anymore. Usually only a couple of times in 60 - 90 days. I personally do not like the "hot" bite you get with some yeasts and age for an extended period of time. (Six months to a year after bottling and some longer.)
