dorno, I'd do a search on this. I had a similar question and found lots of great info floating around on this board. I ended up buying a temp regulator for my freezer so I can be sure I have the proper temp. But you could easily build a swamp cooler or something similar in your bathtub to...

I just went ahead and bought a temp controller so that I can get the exact temp I want. In the grand scheme of things, it's not that much of an investment and I don't have to worry about continually worrying about putting new ice packs in the water. Just something else to think about.

forgot to add that I do have a funnel and nylon bag as well. I don't plan on doing secondary fermentation (from what I read, for many brews it seems unnecessary). What about a bottling bucket? Maybe I'm a sucker for their marketing, but it seems like getting another better bottle with the...

I'm just getting started with homebrew. Here's a list of equipment I have already: what am I missing, if anything? I'm looking at just the essentials here. I have: -6 gallon better bottle, portered with racking adapter and high flow valve & carboy stopper -3 piece airlock -Bottle Filler...
