Welcome danmac.
When you say a homebrew kit, what do you mean? Is it a malt extract based kit to make a beer? Is it the buckets and boilers and measuring gear and bottles and caps? Or both. You might start here and have a look around:

They're not all the same, but neither of these companies will sell you complete rubbish. Best start with minimum investment until you get used to brewing and decide what you really want. Nothing will go to waste when you upgrade- a spare fermenter, for example, is always handy.
It's Ankoù, danmac, as in "servant of Death".

Include a decent hydrometer and a trial jar. If you've got a few bob left over, this thermometer is very good and will serve you well when you go to all grain, but an ordinary glass one at half the price will do equally well.
