Maybe AG is still offering B&W developing service?

If you intend to keep doing this you might consider buying a changing 
bag, a developing tank, some chemicals and an accurate darkroom 
thermometer.  It's actually quite simple after you first practice 
loading film onto the reel a few times.  The first time or two in the 
light so you can see what you're doing and then in the changing bag 
where you can only feel what you're doing.

I haven't done this for more than 20 years but will say I always found 
it easier to wind film onto a stainless steel reel rather than any of 
the plastic gizmos available then.

Others here will probably offer you better advice than mine.
