Looking for input on very small batch brewing.

I recently moved into an apartment with very limited space. I like making a czech pilsner flavor beer, but I usually use champagne yeast for the ferment, due to the fermenting temperature.

I have gotten rid of my 5 gallon glass carboy, and I am brewing in 1 gallon batches. I am aiming for about 4.5% alcohol.

I am wondering if I could boil and ferment 2 or 3 gallons of beer with just the 1 gallon of water, and then when I bottle add the water and priming sugar to make up the difference in volume. Any thoughts on this? Thanks for your experience ahead of time

Yes, it's called high gravity brewing.
