Interesting set up here, looks like some bottles a graduated cylinder, where'd that fermentation barrel go? Hmmm. . .
Doh! there we go, excellent work vice-chairman. Now let's visualize the individual components.

Getting Started: the accoutrements
Here's the kit in all it's glory. The tinted barrel is for fermenting and in the box? Well let's pop open the hood!

The graduated cylinder, presumably a transferral device or to make measurements perhaps?
A device I've never come across before, looks like a cross between a thermometer and a Dr. Grip ball point pen, officially called a hydrometer.
Now we're getting down to serious chemistry, looks like gypsum, calcium sulfate and Irish Moss [Im104], a little known trace element found on the periodic table right next to the highly volatile Kimchee[Km105].
And of course the brewer's yeast, can't wait to put this into action.
some sanitizer to keep everything spic n span. . .
Now we're getting to the real meat an potatoes, looks like some grain malt. Lovin' the name on this stuff "Simpsons Dark Crystal"
