I think you can make great beer in plastic buckets. The only thing is making sure the spigots (if equipped) are clean, clean, clean but that can be said of any fermentation vessel. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've had good luck with the Chapman Stainless fermenters. Not conical, just a stainless bucket with a much better seal, easier lid retention, easier to clean. Pretty good price point, esp. when occasionally on sale.
We have 3 Delta Systems Conical SS fermenters (8 gal), and they are great. Also we have 3 Anvil 4 gallon SS fermenters.Just looking for an inexpensive way to add another way to ferment. Might go with a nice bucket, and a racking tube.

And get one of those tools to help remove the lid. My only beef with buckets is getting the lids off.
