I have never made it 1st time but several recipes saw to steep it so,yes I probably will. I will,try each and see if,they taste,different.

Hi i froze the plucked,heads in freezer. I have starting pulling. They seem to be turning brown. Wonder if,they,will,be okay. Washed them 1st ill,try some without washing.

I have a gal cherry mead bulk,aging I may take half of it and add choc I bought my bars at a pharmacy in candy isle. There are a lot of different types of expensive dark choc.

Made the elderberry wine with dried elderberries last April. Bottled this week. Very good I Oaked it too. Drank the remainder that,couldn't be bottled. Yum.

You can top off with more mead or wine. I use water if it isn't very much. If I don't want any change to the flavor you can go to the dollar store and buy marbles add them to the mead.

I don't use the bottled tannin I brew up some tea and use a cup of it. Brew tea then drink make a,second cup with same tea bag that will have less or no caffeine and mostly tannins. I made one with sun tea instead of water was very good.

No I would not thank you

OK thanks I'm going out again this week. See if I can get more. So should I pitch the ones that did not sink. I read a lot saying unripe berries are poison or am I being too paranoid. Thank you. I am having fun doing this a lot of work though.

Hey i found elderberrys out and about. But one bush different than any i have picked before berry larger and more oval than round. Is it still an elderberry and what kind.

Ok when i can like to saw pickles or tomotoes i use a hot water bath method to seal and prepare food for storage would this work for the simple syrup for longer storage i never tryed the cold water way. Thanks

So when you make the syrup you do not use the boil bath method.

My 1st skeeter pee bottled this week going to try some today tasted great when i bottled it i used a yeast slurry from a elderberry wine. Im thinking slicing lemons and limes adding to wine. Getting fancy put sugar around edge of glasses. Made my label just paper but fun to make.
