Hey, usual beer brewer but decided to make a few meads recently.
Wanted to see if adding coconut oil is a problem. I've always read that oil is bad for head retention on beer but since its a mead does it matter?
I figured I just mix it in some hot water and stir and pour in with the rest of the ingredients. Would love to hear some feedback on coconut oil or just any oil in general being added to a mead.
Thanks!
EDIT:
I ended up using coconut oil which at first was clumped up but separated out.
As far as foamy heads It doesnt bother me since it im just experimenting with different flavors.
