for 1 gallon i would read the brew in a bag thread. for cooling a 1 gallon with a chiller not sure you should be able to ice back it if the volume is that low. take the pot and move it to the sink fill the sink with cold water then let it cool off once the water warms up you can drain it. I...

and it matters because adding grains will lower the water temp(aka mash temp once they are mixed) for most beers my water temp is 13.5 deg F higher then my target mast temp. once I add the grains and stir the temp lowers and hits my mash temp.

the biggest thing is a good size pot (I found a used one at a cooking store 8.2 gallon stainless), Mash Tun (aka converted cooler I used flyguy's drinking cooler with braid),wort chiller(i coiled some copper tubing), and thermometer the rest you can get away with your other brewing equipment...

I have some oak chips with brett in them. After I rack the beer i am wondering how to to store them.

I have been blending some of my beers, you can also make a new batch of beer and refill a carboy I did this a few times makes a whole new beer and it ferments quicker.

you would have to be really careful of hot spots.

you can taste in into the kettle you will know if your ok, the tannins would be strong and evident my guess is the worst that might happen is you get a dry beer.

it is fairly unlikely that pitching it all will change the beer. uless you are making a very lite hopped beer. but a starter is almost always better
