Learning to homebrew is fun but there are a lot of equipment costs that really can add up.
It all depends on how far you want to go with it. It's a rabbit hole, in terms of needing equipment for the boil, then if you go all grain you need equipment to mash, and you will need more equipment to ferment, and more equipment to bottle, until you get sick of filling a zillion bottles and start to keg, which means you need a fridge and taps, (and then the next thing comes and more and more and more and more).
