Hello from Central Illinois.

I'm a new member from Bloomington as well. I have 5 or 6 kits under my belt. Soon to start my first DB.

Welcome to the forum. Arne.

Welcome to the forum. Do yourself a little favor and start out with something like Dragon blood. There is a long thread on it in the beginners section. It doesn't cost much to make and you come up with something to drink. That way you can get your feet wet and not have much money involved but learn the basics of winemaking. Have fun with it and good luck. Arne

Good advice right here! And welcome to the forum, lots of experienced people here who are very patient with newcomers and all sorts of questions. Hope you have fun!

Decatur, Illinois here.
DB is great. A "quick" wine to make in between kits and during "off" time in the winter - to have ready for summer.
Just started DG last November. Have made five 3 gallon batches so far. Just follow the recipe and you can't go wrong. Then experiment a little.
