Bottling Bucket for Secondary? My dilemma...

[Bastido]

Anyone ever secondary in your bottling bucket?

Here's my issue. Brewed a batch of Arrogant Bastard clone with WLP060 American Blend. Come to find out, it smells terrible (the beer tastes good, though!)!! Like sulphur, which is apparently normal for this yeast.

White Labs reccommended I secondary this beer to get it off the cake. My only problem is I just got in a 6 gal BB, but I want to use this as my primary now to reduce blowoff. So, I only have an empty 6.5 gal Bottling Bucket, or my new 6 gallon Better Bottle.

Anyone ever used a bottling bucket as secondary?? /Or used this yeast and had the same issue?? Anyone??

Any suggestions??

Many people here don't secondary or use a bright tank, but I think having a 5 gallon carboy is just a great thing to have around. The first issue with your bottling bucket is that it's going to be pretty big, with lots of headroom.

how about sanitizing the bottling bucket, rack beer to bucket, clean and sanitize the current fermenter, rerack back to it.

That would be my vote. Just try to keep any splashing/agitation to a minimum as you don't want to oxidize the beer.

I thought about that...might be my only option.
