If you have any books you'd recommend or any brews you'd particularly recommend avoiding, I'd love to hear about it!
You can get 1 gallon carboys with airlocks on amazon for 20-30$. That'll get you started, hardware-wise. Yeast can be expensive and complicated but so far we have only used "dried active distillers yeast" or DADY. It's cheap and can generate the 15% or maybe more alcohol content. Pure fruit juice from the grocery store can produce some very nice wines. Different brands can give better/worse flavours but that's trial, error and personal taste. Being clean is important but you don't need to buy the brewing sanitizer, just mix a tsp bleach to one gallon water and bathe everything that will contact your brew/ferment. We were initially motivated by Stephen Harrod Buhner's book: https://www.amazon.ca/Sacred-Herbal-Healing-Beers-Fermentation/dp/0937381667/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3MTO7FVLF6AWU&dchild=1&keywords=stephen+harrod+buhner&qid=1613509733&sprefix=stephen+ha%2Caps%2C281&sr=8-5
