They’re not quite that bad. I started with a small Mr. Beer kit and made some acceptable tasting beers with it but IMO you’re not going to make beer that you will proudly hand a friend to taste until you grow beyond what Mr. Beer will do.

Is a P.E.T. carboy okay? Or would you guys recommend glass carboy?

Glass.
You could get tricky and plunk down the coin for a conical fermenter.
I’ve wanted one of these since I first saw them, just don’t brew enough to justify the cost.

I have a plastic one. It's fine. Do you plan on brewing a shit ton or like once every couple months.

One thing to either make or invest 40-50 bucks in is a wort chiller. The difference is taking an hour or so to cool the beer down vs. like 5 minutes. (you need to get your boiling beer down to 70 degrees ASAP)

That's a nice piece of equipment. But couldn't you just put your boiling pot in a sink full of ice water?

Your worts most vulnerable time is between when you stop boiling and when the yeast starts fermenting. That's what makes a wort chiller nice is you can shorten the time your wort is exposed before you pitch your yeast to it. But a sink full of ice will do the job if you're careful, like Dartgod I did my first couple of batches that way.

Okay, got my kit and I'm ready to brew my first batch this weekend. A couple questions for you guys that know this stuff.

- I will be using the glass carboy for the fermenting stage. Correct?

- Then I will siphon it into the plastic bucket for the bottling process after the fermentation period (1 week? Or was that 2 weeks? - need to go back to John Palmer's site for reference). Do I have this right? The reason I ask is that the plastic bucket also has a hole in the top for the airlock. My understanding is that I should ferment in the carboy and transfer to bucket after this stage in order to get rid of some of the sediment prior to bottling.

- Its okay to pour hot boiled water into the glass carboy?

4. Boil the brew water. In the brewpot, bring 2 gallons of water to a boil. Pour this water into the fermentor and leave it to cool.

And you need a lot of ice and a big sink for a 6 or so gallon pot.

I see. I may grab one of those down the road. But for now, I don't want to spend the extra $$.

I did my first couple of batches using the ice method and they turned out fine. It is much quicker using the chiller, however.
