I've heard one gallon recommended and I have a one-gallon pitcher handy so that's what I use.

I use the hottest water I can get from the tap. Some suggest adding white vinegar but I don't.

A funnel is handy to avoid spilling. I pour as fast as the funnel will take it. If water started backing up in the line and spilling out I would be concerned - so far that hasn't happened.
