I am a complete newbie, and jumping in to all grain brewing. I got a kit from Brooklyn Brew Shop https://brooklynbrewshop.com/ (Specifically A Well Made Tripel and the Bel-Gin Strong), so I have whatever comes with that kit (which is as follows: 5 Gallon Glass Carboy, 6.5 Gallon Bucket w/ Spigot, Sparging Bag, Carboy Bung, Airlock, Auto-Siphon, 5/16 Tubing & 1 Blowoff Tube, Tube Clamp, Thermometer, Hydrometer, Starsan Sanitizer, Capper, Caps and Ingredient Mix for 5 Gallons of A Well Made Tripel.)
What else do I have to buy to make this reality? I know I need bottles (since the kit has caps but not bottles). That's not a problem, just drink some beer right? I can handle that.
I need something cook in. A 6gal stainless something. (anyone recommend a place to purchase?). Can I cook this on my stovetop? Seems like a LOT of water to get boiling with just a range...
Those are the only 2 other things I can think of that I'll need to get going.
Will I need to grind the grains? or will that be done (or do I boil the grain whole?)
Be easy on me, I'm a complete n00b.
