I've not used coconut milk in mead, but I did one cherry-coconut stout
over the summer. My first (and last!) brew ever using coconut milk. I
used canned coconut milk added at the finish of the boil prior to
chilling.
The stout turned out OK, but the mess! Oh, my! Coconut milk appears
to have a high oil content. Believe me, it was a _real pain_ to clean
up my boiling kettle, fermenters, racking hoses, etc to remove all the
oily residue.
As usual, your mileage may vary.
