Is it normal for the bucket to carry a slight smell of the previous brew? I've washed it thoroughly and I can't lose the smell. Is this normal?
Ferment bucket smell after cleaning....

It goes away after a while, but it's normal. I use Better Bottles, but when I used buckets I had a few and I generally rotated them.
Yep - constant argument against plastic. I experimented with one by leaving water in it (lid and airlock on) - also leaving water with small amount of bleach. You can get some of the scent out that way. Idk that it matters that much.
Yeah,it's pretty normal. I get that in my plastic fermenters. I think a lot of it comes from the spigot seal mounting area on mine. I remove the spigots & clean/sanitize them,re-installing while wet with starsan. On brewday,I sanitize the lid & bucket with starsan right before filling. The smell is usually gone & it has a sort of fresh,clean smell after the sanitizer.

Hot water and a package of baking soda will get that smell out overnight.
