I just got this kit for Christmas and I have a couple of questions.
Brewing Starter Kit :: Midwest Supplies Homebrewing and Winemaking Supplies
1) I also have an ingredient kit, so I think I am only missing one thing to get started... a mesh steeping bag. I was planning to pick up one of these from my local store, but unfortunately it isn't going to be back open until mid january.

Does anyone know if there are other places where I could get a steeping bag locally without having to wait for shipping? I was wanting to brew tomorrow. Bed Bath and Beyond or somewhere like that?
2) I have a newcastle clone 5 gallon extract kit. Would there be any harm in dividing everything in half and just making 2.5 gallons for my first batch. I really don't know what I'm doing and I'd had to my 5 gallons of awful beer. :cross:
3) Is there anything else I need that isn't included in my starter kit. How important is a chiller?
