Scale down SNA for 1gal batches?

[HarvInSTL]

I'm getting ready to do a couple 1 gallon batches and looking through hightests great FAQ's; I wasn't sure if I am supposed to just divide by 5 and be done with it or not.

Thoughts?

Not sure, but for simple mead, I've heard use between 2.5 and 3 lbs of honey per gallon of water, as for the yeast and yeast nutrient, not sure....

If you use his spreadsheet, then it will calculate amounts based on batch size.

In answer to you question, I can only say that the reasoning and rationale for the SNA are not batch size dependent. The characteristics of honey are not affected by the amount used.

I use a SNA no matter what batch size I make, and the Mead Calc. Spreadsheet adjusts the nutrient amounts based on batch size changes from the typical 5 gallon batches.

If you are uncertain how to use the spreadsheet, post your recipe and I'll help walk you though an example...
