I just started brewing this summer after taking a break since sometime in the 1980s. The amount of information available now is almost overwhelming compared to what I had access to back in the 1980s. I am using lme also, while I try to figure out just what hardware I want to invest in. Good luck with the IPA!Its been many many moons lol. I choose to make a double IPA along the lines of Pliny from Russian River. 5-gallon batch. It's been so long any tips would be appreciated. Thanks
Research everything. These forums are like an encyclopedia. I was in your shoes earlier this year, and found these to be a great resource. I've since had a couple of successful brews, thanks to the knowledge passed on here. Also, don't be cheap when it comes to equipment.Its been many many moons lol.

Thanks 1hw ! I thought that's what the sugar was for. I do have the meter - but do not know how to read it or what it is for. The primary bucket has a spigot should I take a reading?Priming sugar is for bottling. The trub can be left behind in the brew bucket. Did you take an original gravity reading with a hyrdometer or refractometer?
yes, the people here are so nice -I like that I can ask dumb questions and everybody helps to teach me the answer.Research everything. These forums are like an encyclopedia.
