I see a lot of beginner kits come with a plastic fermentation bucket and a plastic bottling bucket with a spigot.
Why can't you just use the bottling bucket for fermenting and bottling?
It seems unnecessary to transfer the beer to the 2nd bucket.
What is the advantages of having a glass carboy instead of a plastic bucket? Is it worth it or necessary to have glass.
Is secondary fermentation necessary? Is it highly recommended?
Thanks for your help.
