Default 1gallon batch in a 5 gallon fermenter
Would like to do a one gallon test batch and I am wondering if I can do 1gallon batch in a 5 gallon fermenter? Will the excess headspace effect the process?

The excess headspace will be evacuated with CO2. You will be fine.

Problem is that too much homebrew has me playing Russian Roulet with my briefs.
