Hi everyone, after my next bit of advice.
As the subject suggests. I've done a one gallon all grain brew to test a recipe. When I do a 5 gallon batch I put it in a 19l corney keg and prime with CO2. Can I use my corney for a 1 gallon batch?

Most certainly, just ensure that you purge the head space with CO2.

Yes, as above. If you want to be really pedantic (since purging is less than perfect) you can fill the keg with boiled (and so sterilized) water and expel that with CO2 before filling. But unless your beer has been finely filtered to remove all live yeast then i doubt that would be necessary.
