Ignoring any potential negative impacts in the space-time continuum and time travel paradox's, what would you tell yourself if you could go back in time to the day before you brewed your first beer or ordered your first kit/equipment?
For me:
1 - Buy the damn autosiphon. Now. Before bottling your first batch. While possible to brew/bottle without one, it is well worth the money.
2 - Wrap a strainer bag around the end of the tube when racking a dry-hopped beer to the bottling bucket, it works great and this way you won't clog your bottling wand with hop-bits, avoiding drippiness and wasted beer.
3 - The first time you use your homemade immersion chiller, don't try and save the runoff water in pots to use in cleaning. You will walk out of the room, forget, and make an enormous watery mess in your kitchen. It just isn't worth it for a couple gallons of hot water.
