I am trying to assemble my gear in preparation for my first brew and have looked at the "ported" Better Bottles, available from a variety of online vendors.
I have a couple of questions with respect to these:
1) It seems that if I were to purchase two of these (one for primary and one for secondary), racking to secondary and subsequently to a bottling bucket becomes a lot easier and simply a matter of attaching a piece of sanitized tubing to the spigot. Is that correct? Are there other advantages/disadvantages that I am not seeing?
2) Is there any reason why this kind of setup isn't appropriate for a beginning brewer? I'd like top invest in good equipment up front, as opposed to having to buy the right equipment later.
Thanks in advance for any help on this!
