I really did not get any instructions in the kit. How do you hook everything up. Which bucket or glass do you put the wort in? how long? After 1 week next step would be helpful. Neewbie at this. Really expected more instructions in the kit. Maybe they slipped out from the place I bought it. This was an open box.

I'm not sure what parts you have there, except the glass carboy you refer to.

Normally you boil up the wort and throw it in either a fermenting bucket (plastic bucket with sealing lid and a small hole for airlock) or a glass carboy (glass container with a stopper that has a hole for an airlock).

After a week, you can move (or as brewers call it, racking) to a "secondary" fermenting container. You don't have to do this, but some home brewers Ike to move to a secondary container to clear up some of the sludge that settles at the bottom.

After fermenting ends, you bottle it. Of course, there are tricks to these steps. Google and You Tube may help out.
