I also have learned much by reading all the posts, I am approaching my
200th bottle. (is that a newbie or what?)
I have made kits, fruits, concentrates from 6 gallons to 1 gallons. I
agree with you, I learn daily from this newsgroup.
(six gallons of concord, wow) I did 1 gallon and it didn't turn out as
good as I thought... but hey. I'm learning.

DAve
p.s. the other reply was talking about someone else and things. thanks
for your post.
