First Blood

[Winofarmer]

My first batch of Dragons Blood...Thanks DangerDave and all the others for the great info on making this recipe.

You are very, very welcome, Lon. Yours looks beautiful. I cannot say how delighted I am that others---like yourself---are enjoying the Dragon Blood Recipe. It took a bit of coaxing at first to get some folks to try it. It's a staple at our house, just like bread and cheese.

Starting some more this weekend. Wine on!

Looks great! My only problem with it is I thought I had about 20 bottles left but in fact there are only 10...they go fast!!

Looks great. I haven't made any of that wine, but really look forward to doing so soon.

Hey, Derek,
I seem to have the same problem at my house with disappearing wine. I think it might be gremlins, myself.
Glad to see you are mixing it up with kits from several different companies and with different wine types; that's the way to find out what is really best for your own tastes.

My problem is that I put over half of mine into one gallon jugs. Having a one gal jug in the fridge at all times gets dangerous. Now I'm down to the 750ml bottles so I am better able to ration it.

Thanks, I agree on the mixing it up comment. I always thought I was strictly a big red guy. The more varieties I try, the more I am finding some whites and fruit wines that I like. It's nice to have a varied selection.

Oh, that's easy to fix; just send me the one-gallon jugs and I'll "guard" them for you.

How generous of you
