I bought yeast, and the gravity measuring tool, and some sanitizer, and the little airlock cork, and some honey, and a glass gallon jar.

If somebody has a document or PDF with childlike instructions for me to follow on how to do this I would be so greatful!

Maybe some recipe that goes through the whole process from start to drinking, fruit adding would add another layer of fun!

Helpful beginners advice would also be great!!

I'd recommend using a digital thermometer to check the temperature before pitching the yeast. measuring by hand requires a bit of experience. check the instructions for the yeast whether they might need rehydration before pitching. if you are doing rehydration, make sure that the temperatures are fairly close to avoid temperature shock. good luck
