I've read a few threads about the price of ferementing buckets. About how, basically the price. I don't blame anyone, they are expensive. Now. I've heard people using the orange buckets from Home depot or by chance other places. I've read the arguments about head space, the type of plastic to which the argument lead to looking under the bucket for some "Code" I compared my 'Sparlkets' water carboy to the 'Better bottle carboy. I noticed the plastice on the 'Better bottle' is a bit thinner and the top of the same bottle had, if you will a "bubble". The 'Sparklets' bottle is thicker but no "bubble". Then I, compared to my glass carboy, noticing no difference. Besides "glass & plastic" take it how you will. I've never heard any suggestions to use or not to use them. Jusf wondering if one could? Would? Has? Why not use or try one?
