Having been recommended this recipe for my first AG. I need to buy some new kit, but have a few things from past brews I have done. Here's a list of what I think I'm going to need, with a few questions. Please let me know if i'm forgetting anything, and if you can help with my questions that would be great!

Demijohn - Will I need 2 to help make bottling easier?
Air trap
Maris otter 1 kg, and Hops. Choosing Amarillo, as this was one of the hops in a recent beer I had.
Yeast - is there much difference between them, how do I choose?
Big Pan and Thermometer
Large Sieve
Hydrometer - What should the final gravity be, and approximately how long will this take?
LCD thermometer for the side of the Demijohn - what temp does it need to be kept at?
Brew Belt - Does it need to be kept in a dark room, if so I will need a brew belt to keep it up to temp, my "dark rooms" are all quite cold.
Funnel to get it into the Demijohn
Bottles - will I need to add sugar to give it fizz?
Syphon
Quite a long list with lots of questions, apologies! Hopefully this will help others too though.
Oh, and can anybody recommend a good youtube video to watch for guidance, the link to the video in the original post is missing.
