You said that you made some brandy and some meads. What kind of equipment do you have now? Buckets,carboys, hydrometer, anything?

The first brandy I made I borrowed a big five gallon carboy and bought a five gallon plastic one. It turned out kinda harsh but I think I figured out that between the incomplete instructions, wrong yest choice being possible, and a couple other things it was bound to fail. But I am trying to gear up and take another stab at that one again, but being the first time I did anything like this I do not think it was that bad.
For the meads I have one gallon carboys with air locks.The air locks being something I did not have before either. So taking stuff learned from the first go around I have slightly higher hopes for these. I am at the waiting to bottle stage on them, got about another month left.
So other then an five gallon carboy, two one gallon, two one gallon that are on the way, I got nothing really.
But while looking last night I found:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0179ZH89Y?tag=vglnk-c102-20 which is not bad I guess right esp for 110 bucks. The kit for beer is not something that I am too interested in but I guess it would not be a bad first time one.
Then I found another ingredient kit for about 41 bucks
So other then maybe a hydrometer which looks like can be had for under about 20 on amazon is there anything else that is needed?
