Hot plate and stirrer

I got one off Amazon for 50 bucks . Heat is either on or off . Stirer can be controlled . Small, but fits a 500ml beaker .
 
Anyone have or recommend a good brand of a hotplate and stirrer? Thanks
Even a simple cup hotplate works fine.
Then a couple beakers on top. One with cooking oil, as an oil-bath instead of a water bath. The smaller beaker holds your brew.

A stirrer ain't really needed.
You can stir it by hand, as long as the stirrer is reasonably clean. You don't need sterility at this point, as you haven't filtered it yet.
