I've really appreciated the different threads on small batch brewing. I'd like to get set up for 1-gallon fermenting mostly for experimentation. For example, I'd like to prepare a 5 gallon wort, then separate it into different fermenters with differs yeasts so that I can start to learn the qualities of different yeasts. Or, use the same grain with different hops in small batches to get a better sense of the different hops.
What would you say are the merits or problems of each of the following in small batch brewing? Which would you use?
1) one gallon glass jugs (I think they are typically a little bigger than a gallon)
2) 2 gallon plastic fermenters
3) 3 gallon glass carboy
Are there other fermenter options?
