So I have a Brewers Best equipment kit and the ingredients to make a lighter beer (budweiser type) (brew store guys recipe and directions). Where I find myself right now is simply lost. I read the instructions that came with my kit (dont seem to apply to me) and the instructions he printed out and gave me. But I'm so new that I dont know where my bottle opener is. I'm confused about the two extracts on my list (seem the same to me) one is in a plastic bag and the other in a plastic container. I think I'm looking for some simple directions and some hand holding. Any help would be great as I would like to start my first batch asap.
Thanks
