What are you using for fermenters for 1 gallon batches? I have a 3 gallon better bottle for 2.5 gallon batches, and would like to make some 1 gallon batches but don't know what to ferment them in!!

Anyone have opinions on the idea of trying to ferment 2.5 gallon batches inside 5 gallon capacity food grade buckets? I have read that would be enough CO2 produced to take care of the empty headspace but I have not actually met a brewer that has tried this.

{By 5 gallon capacity I mean the max volume of the bucket is 5 gallons not 6.5 gallons for a traditional brewing bucket.}
