What's the difference between a $17 bucket from northernbrewer.com and a $3 bucket from the home depot?

Home depot buckets are only 5 gallon.
Not too sure about northern but the buckets from
Midwest are 6.5 gallons.

I have two 5 gallon water bottles I use to ferment. They have to be a certain plastic. I know #1 plastic is safe to ferment in but there was another # that would work too. I just don't remember which one.

Do a search in the forum and you'll find threads on using water bottles and which plastic # 's they have to be.

From what I remember #1 and #2 were both fine to ferment in and that link seems to agree.
