I've been lookin at stuff online for a while now and need some input. My buddy, who I intend to and hopefully learn from has the typical homebrewer starting kit. He loves it, it works great, and awesome brew comes from it. I was wondering if it would be in my best interest to start with a similar kit or get some upgraded items like the following:
-Heavy duty brew kettles with built-in thermometers, are theses really worth having?
-Conical fermenters. I like the idea of having one but don't understand why there are 6.5 and 8 gallon units available. Also any concerns or issues with going this route?
Not to say I'm too good for the bucket kits or anything. I just intend for this to be a very long lasting and fun hobby so I would like to start out with great items.
