Hi All!
Came across this site while researching the use of Home Depot buckets for fermenting/bottling.
I'm all about maxim value (read as 'cheap as he!!)

I'd spend a buck more and get the white "food grade" ones at Lowes.

Yeah, I wrote a long-winded analysis of sourcing buckets on another thread. After a cross-country move, I no longer have access to a Smart-N-Final and their wonderfully cheap food storage pails.
I'll have to check out the local Lowe's. Do they have lids?

 

[DBhomebrew]

Yes, both standard lids and Gamma.

Lowe's, Depot, Menard's. They've all got the same food safe buckets.

Welcome to the madness we call a hobby. Now forget about sleeping as you won't have time for that anymore. You'll be too busy working your second job to buy all the shinny new brewing toys you are gonna want and brewing in your spare time.
