This picture shows part of my set up on brew day. There are really only five things to note here. All the way on the left, you can see the two cans of Mr. Beer Hoppe Malt Extract (HME). They are soaking in hot water so they are easier to pour into the wort (they are still very sticky, but it helps). Before I add the HME cans, I replace the warm water with the sanitized solution from the
fermenter. I dip the opened can into the hot wort to get any remaining extract out. The fermenter is sitting next to the HME cans and is just filled with a gallon of the sanitized solution. In the back, there is a measuring cup covered with foil. That is what I use to rehydrate the yeast in one cup of water. To the right of the fermenter is another measuring cup filled with sanitized solution. I keep utensils (can opener and spatula in this picture) in there until I use them. The last thing is a small plate with the whisk. The plate has a little bit of the sanitized solution on it so I can continually put down the utensils without the risk of picking up any unwanted nasties.
