You know once you get started it is a slippery slope that becomes a serious hobby! To get started with extract and mini mash recipe kits here are the basics you'll need:
Boil kettle
Wort Chiller
Fermentation bucket
Bottling bucket
Siphon
Bottles
Caps
Capper
and some other misc items like grain / hop bags, fermenter air lock...
The links below should cover what you'd need to get started. You should search to see if there is a local homebrew shop in your area and go talk to them, I have found that folks that like to brew beer love to talk about it and share info.
