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.
