I'm about to get started in home brewing and I think I've done a little bit too much research and have now confused myself completely. I've been looking at the Midwest Supplies Intermediate Kit with 2 5 gallon Better Bottle Carboys. I think this kit looks pretty complete, plus it also comes with a 6.5 gallon fermentor bucket and a 6.5 gallon bottling bucket. Does this kit have enough equipment to basically do 2 batches at once...one in carboys and one in buckets? If there are any other kits anybody recommends, I'd really appreciate the input.
Also, what extras should I purchase? I think I'd rather go with a 7.5 gallon put since it seems more convenient to do full boils. If anybody can recommend a reasonably priced 7.5 gallon stainless pot, please let me know. If I go with the 7.5 gal, I will probably need a wort chiller, since I don't have a sink big enough to put a pot that size in, nor do I want to carry a pot of hot wort to my bathtub. Any recommendations on chillers?
