Using Plastic in 1st fermentation

Can anyone share their thoughts regarding using a 5 gal plastic jug in the 1st stage of fermentation?

I find them economical and easy to clean.

But require care not to scratch(I only use plastic tools to clean, or stir the wort).

imho,

Works great for me.

I find that they are the easiest to clean and sanitize.

Never had any problems.

As long as it's food grade... should work fine (and does for me)

Just remembered something. I stopped using 5 gallon buckets when one, blow a lot of foam. I used 6 gallon buckets now. You should be able to pick them up at your local home brew store.

later,
