After the basic necessities are taken care of there are some nice accessories that you should also have such as:
Bottling machine
Specific gravity tester
Very large pot
Cooling mechanismThese items aren't really necessary but are nice to have. Most beer kits have either the items above or equivelent item in them. I've included the large pot here, it's a must have item but almost no beer brewing kit includes it.

After the equipment is taken care of you'll need the actual ingredients, the easiest and cheapest way to get them is simply buy an ingredient kit. These include everything you need, from the hops, barely, additional flavorings to the yeast.
