I believe I'm going to go with the Austin Home Brew Kit with the glass option. The only part I'm still undecided about is the stock pot. I have a feeling it's a matter of me not knowing/understanding the brewing process. Thus, in relation to the stock pot my new question are: Do you...

Wow! You are all amazing. I really appreciate the advice. I'm going to look up all the suggestions and will be sure to keep reading any new posts here. Of course I will let you know what I choose in the end! Bottoms up! : )
