Hello brewers!
I have a quick question, as I just brewed up a nice porter yesterday. Plan on using a secondary for the first time and have been hearing/reading all about the pros/cons of using a 5 Gallon water bottle as a fermentation vessel. My primary is a 6 Gal glass carboy.
From what I can tell, this bottle should actually serve quite well, unless I'm missing something. Can you please take a look and tell me your thoughts?

The other option I'm considering is a 5 Gal food grade bucket that I can fit an airlock to:

Happy to hear any advice/feedback! Pretty new to this home-brew thing, so I appreciate the help!
