Do I need the "additional 6 gal PET carboy"?

No, that's for secondary fermentation, and against a lot of belief,
isn't needed with extracts. I just leave it in the primary fermentor
longer.

Think I can try this brewhttp://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/weizenbier.html

Yep, shouldn't be a problem. Go for it! I'll help anyway I can! It
will have decent instructions with it, if there's something you don't
understand, give me or Scotty a shout!

Is this big enough?http://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/ststbrpot20q.html

Plenty for extract brewing. You only need to boil about half of the
total volume, watch for boil overs, the sticky goo is a freakin' mess!
Put the can of extract in some hot tap water to soften it while your
water is coming up to temp, it'll flow easier.

Will this autosiphon do?http://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/au24in.html
or should I go with this?http://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/au28in.html

The first one will be fine!

A batch might last me a long time. *Should I get these?http://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/oxbacrca1co.html

Nah, no need. You can try the beer after being bottled for a couple of
weeks, but it really is at it's peak after about a month. Cool and
dark, I keep mine in the cartons, and it'll be fine for six months.

I'm thinking this will get me started.
Anything else?
I want to get the first batch right.
Thanks!
