well, the elderberry is bottled and stored in the racks sitting in a cool dark place. now time is my friend. the wine taste great as is for a young wine, age can only make this much better. i had a time cleaning all the equipment with the nasty stuff formed by the berries. backsweetened a tad using a simple syrup of 4 cups of water and 4 pounds of sugar simmered for 30 minutes until cleared. i only added a small amount of this syrup solution to give the wine a very light sweetness. i'm guessing age will do the rest
was my first shot at making elderberry so i only picked enough to make this batch, next year i'll definately be making 2 or 3 batches of this wine.
