I have everything I can think of. I have done tons of research. I have spoken to the local homebrew shop, the local club members, read a book, watched many vids on you tube, and have been viewing this site for a month. I did not want to even boil water until I had all my bases covered. The local brew shop owner came off as arrogant when he told me I not to even bother and just start with what he called a 'hamburger helper kit'. I consider myself resourceful and capable. I will be brewing outside. My brother and I fabricated the immersion chiller.
Thanks for the advice everyone. I look forward to brewing and sharing.
