I was wondering about the temperature needed to age mead. My house is typically around 70°. Is this too hot to age mead? If it is can mead be aged in the fridge? This is my first mead and I'm unsure what it needs.
I recently transferred my first mead from the first carboy to a second one but when I tried it all you could taste was alcohol. It was really strong. It set for a month before I put it in the fridge to cold crash it. Will it mellow with age or did I mess it up? Its supposed to be a cherry mead.
