New guy from IL

[DZ80]

Hello. I've been listening to the BN for a few months (about the same amount of time I've been brewing) and just joined the forum. I've got two extract batches under my belt—a pale ale and the Northern Brewer American Wheat for the summer.

The homebrew has been ok so far, but it definitely has that extract twang. Would love to go all grain, but can't afford the setup just yet. Also like to make a satisfactory extract batch before I try to take the plunge. I've already found great info here on making my next batch a little better. Looking forward to it.
