Looks like a great starter kit. Be warned however when you start brewing more often you will want to get glass Primary and secondary fermenters. Buckets work OK for a couple of batches but glass is the Shiznizzle.

Of course, some people stay with buckets for years and years and years. They don't break, they have spigots, are easy to clean, weight less and
...
you don't have to watch all of the crud floating around.

I agree about going to glass. There are good point on each side of the arguments. I use glass primary and glass secondary but the plastic buckets I got with my kit I use for bottling and for sterilizing everything during my brewing and racking processes. About the crud comment, I try to keep it covered with cardboard so I don't have to see it.. hehehehe

I have 7 plastic buckets (2 for bottling) and 4 carboys...

Do your research to learn more and ask questions out the wazoo...we're here to help.
