Is it 'bad form' to use plastic PET bottles with crown caps..... First batch is going into easy kegs but really want to get a 2nd brew on and PET bottles are silly cheap.

Currently only 3.99% but once it's finished primary fermentation it should be knocking on the door of 5% :D

If you've got a crown capper surely you can just reuse any old beer bottles you or neighbours etc have?
