So I'm getting ready to brew my first batch and have a couple of questions. I have the northern brewer kit. Thanks in advance for any help!
1. Do I new to use chemicals to clean my equipment or can I just use Dawn dish liquid and the sanitize?
2. What's the best way to aerate the wort? Just slosh it around like northern says? Buy a drill attachment like I've seen people use?
3. Should I strain the wort when adding to the fermenter or just dump away? First batch will be caribou slobber.
4. My water is hard, but doesn't taste bad. Should I use it or should I buy bottled?
