If you want to drop a bit of money then this is a great kit. Comes with all the basic equipment, including a hydrometer and isn't super expensive. If you don't want to spend money on equipment, then /u/2ndPerk 's suggestion is what I would recommend as well.
homebrewing really doesn't have too high a cost of entry if you shop around a little bit. Depending on where you are located, there is usually some equipment for sale on craigslist. Also, if you buy a starter kit that has everything you need to get started, it is usually a little cheaper that way also.
That's how I got started, I picked up a kit with a college roommate and we started brewing extract kits in the front yard. Now 5 years later, I have a 5 tap kegerator in my basement and I have homebrew parties at least once a month where we drink all day and brew a couple batches for the next party.
I'd like to do 5 gallon batches. I don't think the quantity from the Mr Beer keg is worth it.
How's this look? Total is around $80.
Fermentation bucket
Bung/airlock
Stock pot
Autosiphon
Star San or Idophor (What's the difference?)
Is there any advantage to having a carboy as well? How long would I leave the beer in the fermentation bucket?
So if I wanted to do sours, I'd basically have to get 2 of everything?
Edit - actually, wouldn't this kit be about the same, but with an extra bucket but no stock pot?
Edit 2 - another pot, 36qt is good price, leaving this here so I can find it again.
