What types of containers (preferably cheap containers) do you use to ferment your 1-gallon batches? Does a one-gallon jug have enough headspace? A 2-gallon too much?
Honestly go to a home brew supplier and get yourself a 5 gallon demijohn for 20 bucks, while you are there grab a bung and an airlock.
Let's face it, it's as much work to make a one gallon batch as it is to make a 5 gallon batch...and even 5 gallons is never enough.
After you wait a few months to consume your final product the last thing you want is to only have 4 bottles of it.
The problem with a 5gallon...New homebrewers who begin with mead. Dont want to drop $100 on honey to make a good perfect mead. We want to throw a bunch of stuff into a 1gallon jug and hope for the best. and experiment our way up. 5gallons is a lot, but at the same time. 1gallon is fun for the new homebrewers..myself included
