I've been doing AG for over a year now and am just now thinking about doing some 2.5-3 gallon test batches, particularly SMaSH recipes so that I can get the flavor of individual hops nailed down a little better. A few questions for those who have done these:
1) Do you still use a full packet of yeast? Say US-05. I figured it probably couldn't hurt to do so.
2) As far as secondary fermentation goes, do I even bother? I figure the amount of headspace in the secondary would pose a high risk of oxidation.
