I have only ever used the 7 gallon primary buckets and racked to 6 gallon carboys, but was recently gifted some 2 gallon fermenting buckets and one gallon carboys. I know some folks do primary under airlock and some do not, so I am not sure how that factors here, but my question is if I want to just ferment a gallon of must to then rack into a one gallon carboy, can I just put a gallon into a 2 gallon bucket (with airlock), or is that way too much headspace for primary? I appreciate any suggestions.
