I have been using Home Depot buckets for primary fermenting. They have been working great.
They were under $3, and my home brew store sells lids for bottling buckets (they have an area to insert an airlock). Their lids fit onto the Home Depot buckets.
The total cost for bucket and lid is around $5
Home Depot's cheap orange buckets are made of HDPE(2), which, from what i understand, is food safe
If anyone knows of a reason I shouldn't be doing this please let me know.
Just thought I'd mention this, in case anyone is looking for a great deal on fermentation buckets.
