There are a lot of great reasons to make a micro batch mead (honey wine). A super tiny batch is a great place to start if you’re just learning the process of mead making or if your an experienced brewer but you’re trying out something experimental. Medicinal brews, using medicinal herbs, are also a great match for micro batches because more often than not you’re taking smaller doses and don’t need a whole gallon, let alone 5 gallons.
