Welcome from another noob living in the Capital Region! I've got a few batches of cider under my belt so far. Going for a nice hoppy IPA hopefully next week once I fix my banjo burner. What kit did you order?
I ordered the Coopers Micro Brew Kit. It came with the Lager extract. I also ordered the Pilsner kit which has been in the primary since Saturday. Hope your IPA turns out good.
