1. You need to get those little fermentation-thingies. But that should not be a problem, as people always have more than they need themselves (they repoduce constantly) and give them away for free in the neighborhood - or sell them for very little money.
A handful is enough for the beginning.
2. water
3. sugar (no honey)
4. dry fruit (raisins, dates, figs, apricot...)
5. (ginger!) but that is optional
6. lemon (taste and protection)
Sugar is NOT a problem as it is transformed to fizz (CO2) during the process. That is why it gets more sour the longer you let it ferment.
I do primary (2 days, no fridge) and secondary (1-2 days, fridge) fermentation.
