How consistent are 1 gal. batches, from one batch to the next?
It stands to reason, at least to my infant wisdom, that smaller batches may be more inconsistent than larger ones.
But, on the other hand, it seems experimentation, for beginning persons, such as my self, would be more efficient and effective in 1 gal. batches.
I have done (1) 1 gal. batch. My first Mead ever. But, it dissapeared so quickly, it teed me off. Yes, the next batch was 2 gal. and the next batch was 3.
But, for the sake of learning, other than the very basic recipes and how they react, do most of you utilize small, 1 gal. batches, or do you just go ahead and do 2, 3 gal., or even larger batches?
