Anyone have any issues with fermenting small batches in larger than normal fermenter. Looking to buy a 15 gal plastic conical and i make alot of 5 gal test batches. Would i be ok if i purged the fermenter with CO2 or do i still run the risk of off flavors?

Thanks

You'll be fine, no need to purge as you will need the o2 to start fermentation with and the co2 generated by fermentation will purge the headspace.
 
Thanks I didnt think that i would just thought id throw it out there and see..
