Dry hopping question

[mtrogers14]

Question regarding dry hopping. I want to dry hop in a secondary fermenter. Is a 5 gallon food grade bucket big enough for this if its a 5 gallon batch ? A 6 or 6.5 gallon fermintation bucket costs upwards of $15-$20. A 5 gallon bucket costs less than 5 bucks at Lowes. I'd obviously like to go with the Lowes bucket. Any ideas?

It will be a tight fit but since active fermentation is done it should be fine. The less head space at this time the better. That being said, you don't really need to use a secondary to dry hop...
