I'm still a newbie. I bought one of those $60 "starter kits" at my LHBS with two 6.5 g buckets (a primary and a bottling bucket). I was wondering if, after I siphon from my primary, can my bottling bucket be used as a secondary? My plan was to siphon over to my bottling bucket, then steal the lid and airlock from my primary and let the brew sit for two more weeks in the bottling bucket and then bottle directly from the bucket after the two weeks. Is this advisable? I know the simplest answer is to just buy a secondary fermenter but my wife has banned any further equipment purchases until I can produce a good beer to prove to her that home brewing isn't a waste of time or money. Right now, her mindset is "why not just go buy a case of beer and save the time and trouble."
Cheers everyone!
