Don't forget about a brew kettle as well. That kit, like most, doesn't include a kettle.

I got my kit at MoreBeer.com. They have two beginner kits, one for 70 bucks and one for 99. Both come with a bottling bucket and a fermenter. I went with the carboy one and all you really need after that is a brew pot. The second kit in this thread looked good but it seemed like it was 50 bucks more for just a secondary fermenter.

P.S. MoreBeer has free shipping on orders over 59 bucks.

As for the glass or plastic carboy that is more personal preference than anything. You have to be more careful cleaning the plastic ones but they are much lighter.
