Just a quick question- can I use a normal hardware store bucket with a lid as a primary fermentor? I live in Hawaii and have been unable to find "food grade" buckets so far, and I really don't want to pay shipping.
If I find a normal ace hardware bucket without scratches, is that acceptable? Or am I asking for trouble and off-flavors?
