Well went and got my kit,pot, and recipe kit today. Have to work all day so i should get started on Sunday. I had a few last min. questions. Im going to just go ahead and do a partial boil. when i take my first gravity test, is it taken after i mix the wort and water or before? I am very worried about sanitation, do i need to boil my other 2 1/2 gallons before i put it in the fermenter to sanitize it? Still not sure what water i am going to use store bought or house, what do you recommend? Also this recipe calls for dry hoping. Do i just need to put the bag in boiling water to sterilize it? Also should i put it in right away like the recipe says or wait until the secondary?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
