after several incidents of running around looking for stuff with the timer running, i made up this checklist of steps and stuff. i have now tested it on a brewing campout, where i had to take EVERYTHING with me to the woods.
this is based on using Brewer's Best partial grain beer kits.
theoretically, you should be able to drag all this stuff out to the garage and not go back into the house except to get another cold one! please let me know if i've missed anything.
i use open office to print it out in two columns on one sheet of paper. i can upload or forward the file in OO or MS Office format if anyone wants it. feel free to use or forward, but please give me credit for it.
i'm now working on an AG version of it, but that's for the other forum.
