In case you're curious...
In which SotK and I attempt to make elderberry wine for the first time and invite you to join us on our adventure.
We have begun fermenting the wine in demijohns as of tonight. We actually began the process yesterday night (not including picking the elderberries).
Step One (yesterday): Elderberries de-stalked, and ready to be soaked in hot water (with campden tablets) overnight.
Step Two (tonight): More hot water, sugar, pectin and yeast added, and mixture transferred into the demijohns.
If anyone wants the exact recipe or has questions, let me know!
