Ok, help me out. On our last 5th the drain plub was a plastic nut which I removed to drain the water. When I looked at this water heater, there is a big brass nut. Is this the plug which has to be removed? If so, how do you get it out. I tried to remove it and I couldn't even budge it.

Yes it's about an 1 1/8" or 1 1/16" plug.
It may be a bit tight but with a socket, short extension and ratchet it should come loose.
As Karl said be sure to wrap teflon tape around the threads when putting the new anode in.
