Quick couple of questions. The benzyl benzoate doesn’t say USP grade. Is that ok, reason I ask is because the BB on medlabgear is MUCH more expensive but says USP, is that why or will it be fine from Amazon. Also the magnetic stirrers, do you just drop them in and they work or do you need some sort of magnetic plate or something to sit the beaker on? Thanks, thinking of giving this a try.So a few of you know that I'm looking to start brewing my own stuff....I've gotten lots of feedback and think I have a decent shopping list to put in. Before I do though I wanted to make sure that I'm not forgetting anything. Here's what I have so far:

That stuff plus I need some 18GA slip on pins, some MIG840, and fittings and hose for my vac pump filter set up. I will be getting some beakers as well. Maybe from amazon.
Do you guys think this will suffice to do my first small batches by hand syringe filtering and then when I brew bigger handle 1/2-1L at a time?
Anything I am planning on getting that you would substitute for something else based on your personal experience? Will I need various oils or will MIG cover it all with BA/BB?
After I get some feedback and get this ordered it's time to order the first round of raws. I have to say I am looking forward to it.
I still haven't found a good place to get an autoclave yet. I missed my shot at getting one from slapsale.com and have been checking back daily in case another unit pops up. Any ideas?
