I'm wanting to try out a few experimental brews, but not wanting to risk a whole 5 gallons on them. Can I use full size buckets , carboys, and yeast packets on say a 1 gallon batch?
Are you *sure* about this? The rule for both primary and/or secondary is to avoid oxidation and exposure. The CO2 output provides some cover and protection from oxidation but there are limits. 1 gallon in a 5 gallon not to mention 20 gallon fermenter seems to be pushing it.As far as fermentation goes, it doesn't matter the size of the fermenter. You can do a 1 gallon batch in a 20 gallon fermenter.
