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]

I do not think the yeast is inactive. It has been about 3 1/2 days and I am getting bubbling in the primary about every 20 -25 seconds. It seems to have slowed a lot since day 2, but I understand that is normal from the How to Brew book (J. Palmer).
OG 1.046
FG 1.017
Should end up hovering around 4% ABV. Fairly sessionable.
...brewing beer is so freakin awesome.

They have Brew Dog's Tactical Nuclear Penguin, but they want $80 for a 12oz bottle.
What's funny is that people assume that Hopslam is 100+ IBUs. So, they load up on bittering hops. Actually, it's only upper 60s or so. I may only have a small amount of bittering hops. But, I'm going to overload on the Centennial and Simcoe in the last 20 minutes.
Matt, did I read correctly a few pages back that you're thinking of jumping ship on Stone? If you don't mind me asking, why? The pay not up to the work load, or is it too industrialized? Which brewery you getting offers from? Sadly I still haven't had a chance to take the tour at Stone, I did manage a quick peak into the gift shop a couple months back but that's it.
Cheers!

I'm sure in the long run you'll make the best decision, To mix metaphors, do your best not to burn bridges when/if you jump ship.
