Hello all,
I'm a newbie to all this. Just made my first brew(hard cider) last weekend. I was told to never use a plastic bucket for primary fermentaion. I have a 5 gallon food grade plastic bucket. It came with a gasket in the lid which makes it airtight. I drilled a hole in the lid and put in a rubber stopper. Put an airlock in the stopper and it is bubbling away. What is the harm of using a plastic bucket?
Thanks,
Tom
