Body: <p>I'm becoming more interested in brewing my own beer and due to space considerations am thinking a 1-gallon size may be my ideal choice of setup.</p>
  
  <p>The question is:</p>
  
  <p><strong>In what ways does brewing with 1 gallon equipment effect the quality of beer that's produced, as opposed to brewing from more robust and expensive setups?</strong></p>
  
  <p>edit: May have used the 'kit' terminology in a way I didn't intend. Basically what I'm asking is if 1 gallon equipment will produce a lesser quality beer than a more expensive, and bigger setup.</p>

  I'm becoming more interested in brewing my own beer and due to space considerations am thinking a 1-gallon size may be my ideal choice of setup.
  
  The question is:
  
  **In what ways does brewing with 1 gallon equipment effect the quality of beer that's produced, as opposed to brewing from more robust and expensive setups?**
