Longtime lurker, first time poster. I am dying to start brewing but money is tight at the moment. I am casually keeping my eyes open for deals on equipment for when I get the opportunity to buy a starter kit.
Today I stopped at a tag sale and I picked up a glass carboy for $5, seemed like a good deal. I see most kits come with a primary fermenter bucket and a bottling bucket. Would the carboy replace the primary bucket and then I would use the bottling bucket for a secondary? or would it be kettle into carboy primary into bucket secondary into bottling bucket into bottles? or something else?
I would also like to get a turkey fryer for boiling, would I be able to clean a used one enough or would there always be oil residue that I would never be able to get rid of? Or do you have to start with something new that has never been touched by oil?
Thanks in advance.
