This question mostly pertains to my future attempts at hard cider, mead and wines, but could also be for brewing beers on something Im not sure I would like.
Is it possible to brew smaller amounts of the above examples just in case I dont like the end result?
For example, im interested in making wine, but not sure what I like. I dont want to get stuck with 5 gallons of a certain type of wine if I can help it.
Ive seen places sell 1 and 3 gallon fermenters. If I used the 3 gallon fermenter for a mead, wine or cider, could I make a batch that lets say is a 2 gallon batch?
That would mean I would have to use 40% of the normal 5 gallon-batch ingredients?
Does this work and do any of you ever try this?
thanks
