The Coopers kit is a good starter. You'll also need a way to wash your bottles really well, a bottle brush, bottle sanitizer, caps, and if using glass bottles, a hand crown sealer. Get it all from the home brew shop. I used to rinse my bottles in Milton after washing them, and chuck them in the oven for 1/2 hour on 90°C to pasteurize them. If you plan to brew during the colder months you will probably need a heat pad and a way of insulating the fermenter. Like an old quilt or sleeping bag cut up to make a sock for the vat. Also check out the home brew forum www.aussiehomebrewer.com

You'll also need a BBQ and some mates to help give you a reason to keep brewing. And a telly for watching sport.
