@bikermatt I use to drive volvos mostly. I now operate a liquid nitrogen plant.
@RPh_Guy I kinda poured and some got poured and some stayed in the stainless pot. I guess I was just being lazy and didn't think it would hurt.
I'm reading this guessing I did it all wrong. I have a 1 gallon primary and I just poured everything from the brewing pot into it. Maybe I should have tried to strain everything? Maybe its not too late and I can strain after I ferment? Its been about a week in the fermenter.
What is a tried and true recipe example? I have heard mead is horrible tasting although I have never tried it. Cider sounds interesting, but haven't tried that either.

I wasn't sure what else I needed to get going. I think I am missing a pot and bottles? Is there a foolproof guide? What has hindered me in the past is I don't really have a great sink to clean up. I live in a...
I'm gonna read read read, just wondering if that is something good to start with or am I going over my head. I'm kinda confused on these kits if they are beginner kits or are some of them more advanced?
I'm looking at ordering the oldcastle recipe kit from Midwest Supply. I'm getting the el cheapo beginner kit for $59 as well. Is there anything else I should know?
