Hello all. I have caught the bug. I am ready to begin brewing my own beer...
But, I am having some questions about a good beginner setup.
Do I need a secondary fermenter? Would you recommend buying one as part of a kit only to use later? I am leaning towards the PET carboys...
Here is what I am thinking about buying:
Brewing Starter Kit w/Better Bottle :: Midwest Supplies Homebrewing and Winemaking Supplies
They also have an upgrade to get the PET carboy w/ a spigot...thoughts?
I have also seen this product and wanted to know what anybody thinks about it's design as a secondary fermenter as an alternative to PET carboy:

Forgive my naivete, as I said, I am just researching what would be a good starter kit. Advice or know of any better options I would appreciate help!
My local supplier doesn't seem interested in teaching/talking to me about possible options, just selling the kit he has in his store...
