Ok, I hope I am not repeating another post on here (I did a search and didn't see anything like it). I am about to home brew for the very first and I'd like to know if any of you experienced home brewers have any info for a first timer.
I have ordered a basic kit containing the following: 6.5-gallon Plastic Fermenter and Lid, 6.5-gallon Bottling Bucket, Airlock, #2 drilled Rubber Stopper, Racking Tube, Bottle Filler, Five feet of Flexible Tubing, Hydrometer, Floating Thermometer, Two-handle Bottle Capper, 144 Bottle Caps, Sanitizer, Auto Siphon, bottles, a 5 gallon stainless steel brew kettle, and an ingredient kit (containg "dry malt extract specialty grains, hops, yeast, clarifier, and priming sugar").
Is there anything else I should get? Anything I should watch out for? I've heard sanitation can be a big gotcha if not done properly. Thanks for any tips or experiences you can pass along!
