Just ordered my equipment kit and extract kit:
My recently ordered items are below, my questions are:
1) Besides a long handled spoon and bottles what else will I need to buy?
2) I plan on ripping the package open and smacking the pack as soon as it gets here, then going right into Sanitization. What else can I do to speed up the brewing process? I know the pac takes a few days to get going.
3) Any general advice from those wiser (that means everyone here lol) than I would be appreciated.
