I am just getting started, and already have found great advice here.
I am getting into partial mash kits. I usually buy my kits from Midwest.
Next time I place an order I want to be able to add a few things to the order to have "on hand" so to speak. Would one of the experienced brewers like to give me a few tips on what it would be wise to have around?
I'm thinking specifically like a couple pounds of DME, extra packets of yeast, gelatin for fining, etc. I keep adding to my equipment collection, what are the ingredient "staples" so to speak of homebrewing? My last order I ordered some yeast nutrient.
I know many people use LME or DME to make starters, so I know I should have some of that on hand. Other suggestions that I might not be thinking of?
Also, a related question: I know the ingredient kits I am buying use different yeasts. If I want to keep a few packets of say Ale yeast around in case of emergencies, is there a standard yeast I should buy?
