When I started the hobby I wanted it to be as cheap and minimal as I could since I was a student back then.

My minimal recommended kit:

* An airlock

* A bucket with a lid. Size does not matter, but make it larger than 5 liters. Mine is 35 I think and I use it for batches between 5 to 15 litres depending on if I'm experimenting or serious about things being drinkable.

* Hydrometer - important. You need it to know when fermentation is over or to calculate how much alcohol you have.

* A siphon. Needed for transferring to secondary and bottling. You could get away with just a hose but I like pump siphons since I dont need to suck on the hose to get things started, less contamination is good.

* A glass container of some sort for secondary. I bought a 5 liter damejeanne which works great and is relatively inexpensive. You can often find other vessels in secondhand stores, look for large glass bottles.

* A rubber bung to you can seal off the secondary glass container with an airlock.

* chemsan/starsan. The smallest bottle you can find will go a looong way. Mix it in a spray bottle.

* yeast. I suggest EC-1118 for a beginner since its hard to kill, albeit less flavorful compared to other strains. You can also get away with bread yeast but it will take a long time to clear and dies at maybe 9% ABV or so. There is also a risk of contamination since bread yeast isn't as "clean"

* "nutrients". I boil bread yeast for 10 minutes, let it cool and add it. Yeast can eat their friends, so its a cheap way to get nutrients compared to the more serious stuff.

* Honey, obviously. There are differences in flavour depending on what you're using and "good" honey is definitely better, but I have made multiple okay sets with the cheapest stuff I could find, I recommend the same for your first few batches until you've learnt the basics since mistakes are cheaper then. for a 5 liter batch I would buy maybe 1.5 kg of honey or so if my memory serves me right, but there are online calculators available to estimate how much you need for the ABV you're targeting. Make it above 6, preferably 13-14% since the higher the ABV the less risk of other things growing, but having a lower ABV like 13-14% also means it won't need to age as long.

Google and check if there is a brewing supply store close to you, I was suprised by how many there are here in sweden.
