It sounds like a small BIAB setup, 10L or so, would be better. Minimal financial outlay and will have you brewing more frequently, speeding up the learning curve. More hands on and involving, whilst being simple and easily manageable. Less beer to bottle and kit is easier to clean.


Probably an unpopular opinion, but the problem with beginners homebrewing is the discrepancy between volume and yeast. Most start with dry yeast supplied in 11g sachets, which isn't enough for most 5 gallon batches that everyone advocates, and most kit is designed for. Leading to slow or stuck fermentations, stressed yeast and the resultant off flavours, clarity and foam issues.


Start small and simple and grow into the hobby. Rather than having all the gear and no idea.
