Thanks again for all the replies. Just found a few more posts on coopers, and it is indeed a no boil (mostly) kit. Plan as follows:
1. Warm up LME in a hot bath.
2. Boil 1 gallon of water, and dissolve DME.
3. Add sugar wort to 5 gallons of cool water in fermenter.
4. Adjust temperature as...
Thanks guys. Wyzazz, I actually read that thread right before I posted this, and just wanted to double check before I start this. Off to make some homebrew :D
Edit - Mrbean just threw a monkey wrench into the whole thing.
I was getting all set up to brew some extract that has been laying around for the last few months, and now the directions are no where to be found :mad:. It's Coopers wheat beer, and is supposed to make 6 US gallons. If anybody could post up some decent directions, I'd really appreciate it...
Heat sticks certainly have their place, but it seems that for a lot of people, it might be easier and cheaper to simply purchase a propane tank and burner.
BrewBeemer, I don't think he meant shipped. Everything I've gotten on CL has always been local. That and I'm pretty sure you CAN'T shipped full cylinders without going through a lot of paperwork.
Thanks for the link man. I also found this I might be buying soon as I need a few other parts as well:

I recently brewed my first AG batch with a new AL turkey fryer pot. I noticed when brewing the pot darkened on the inside. Was I supposed to boil water in it to allow this to happen before I brewed my beer, or will the beer still be fine?
