The Deluxe Beer-Making Starter Kit:
Everything from above, except this kit does not have the first three items. You will need to acquire your own three to five-gallon stockpot, mesh strainer (or colander), and long-handled spoon before you start brewing; other than that, this is a very complete hardware setup.
The cost of this hardware setup is $103.95

The Basic Beer Kit:
Everything from the Deluxe Kit, except there is no glass carboy - the brewer can easily brew solely with the plastic bucket that comes with the kit, or can acquire a carboy later on down the line.
The cost of this hardware setup is $84.95

Remember, you can always collect your own bottles and re-use them for homebrewing. (Try to collect the glass "pop-top" bottles, not the ones that twist-off, or screw off. But if you need more beer bottles with that first starter kit? Check out our bottle page.....We sometimes have used bottles in our store as well, which will always be clean, de-labelled and in boxes at a discounted cost. Supplies on used bottles will vary.
