Hello everybody! I just registered here after snooping around for a while. I have recently decided that I'd like to get into the hobby of brewing my own beer and am very excited about it.
I've spent quite a while compiling a list of a lot of different starter kits offered on the internet (actually I've made an excel document comparing many different ones). One trend that I've observed is that most sites selling kits offer their basic kit that includes 2 buckets, and then their next step up kit substitutes one of the buckets for a glass carboy. Now, when I get into this hobby I fully intend for it to be something that I do for a long period of time. Because I have long term intentions, would it be better to go with one of the many "next step up" kits as opposed to the bottom of the line kits? Or will I be able to brew equal quality beers with the lower end kits that are out there?
I'm trying to avoid buying one of the two bucket kits only to decide that they aren't sufficient any more shortly thereafter.
Please forgive my noobness, I'm still working on familiarizing myself with the terminology and everything else.
