Hey everyone I know coming form a rookie brewer this is a dum question but I'm about to step up from the simple Mr Beer setup to a 5 gallon setup. I'm looking at buying kits and the one I was looking at has a 5 gallon carboy. With the Mr. Beer setup it was just the simple one stage fermentation and bottle. What exactly does the carboy do if I do a second fermentation. Also what do people think are the most important things I should look for when getting a setup kit?
