You may hear that it is not advisable to brew in a plastic bucket. In general, if you do not take good care of your equipment, then no you should not home brew in a bucket. However, if you take good care of your food grade plastic bucket, do not throw brewing equipment in your bucket causing it to scratch the side walls, then you will be just fine brewing in plastic and will produce delicious high quality beers every time you brew.  Amazon
