Thanks everyone! After seeing your responses and reading the other threads about this, I think I will start off with the plastic buckets and when I am ready to move on to a secondary, I will most likely be using the Better Bottles, or something of that nature.

Thanks.....but what about any health concerns with plastic. In terms of cleaning and sterilizing and it being absorbed into the plastic for later uses?

I am interested in starting the home brew process and wondering what people's thoughts are on the plastic vs glass carboy. I have heard some horror stories of glass carboy's shattering and serious injuries occurring. But on the flip side, are there any down falls to using the plastic buckets...
