What you'll need to start:
A stainless steel (preferably) stock pot, at least 3 gallon capacity. Aluminum will do.
A basic brewing kit. Northern Brewer item #7601 [northernbrewer.com]
A recipe kit [northernbrewer.com]. I would suggest a porter or a stout for your first brew, as dark brews are very forgiving of beginner mistakes. I would suggest using US-05 dry yeast.
A fermometer, NB item #7411 [northernbrewer.com]
Starsan Sanitizer, NB item #7930 [northernbrewer.com]
I would *highly* suggest some Fermcap-S, unless you like scrubbing nasty gooey dried up wort off your stovetop, NB item #9136 [northernbrewer.com]

p.s. do you have design specs to share? Just asked him and he's interested.
its really simple to make, all i used in the making this was the cheapest120mm fan i could buy(i bought a 3spd fan to adjust speeds to get a good spin), a box or tupperware(alot of guys use old cigar boxes and looks really nice), old power cord from electric shaver/xm radio/any thing should work, and i had a really old hard drive that was useless so i took it apart to take the earth strong magnets out of it...you could always buy them online for a few bucks....i also bought a cheap switch so i can turn it off easier... buy four bolts that fit through the corner holes on the fan, 4 nuts that fit the bolts, 4 plastic spacers/washers, then buy a flask or flat bottom glass bottle/jar/etc that can hold about 2L. Buy a cheap stir bar online and you are set.
to build the stir plate cost me about $10, the stir bar was $5.... as i said mine is really ghetto but does the job, i'm not too worried about looks as long as it works

It's a ton of science - I can't wrap my brain around it but he loves it.
