just started my first VR Piesporter a week ago and its the first kit that i have made that calls for the addition of elderflowers to the primary fermentation.
I noticed that when i went to rack into my carboy for the secondary that the flowers had all stayed on top of the mix.
Anyhow, when i was siphoning some of these ended up in the carboy so i was wondering if those will drop out during clearing?
Also the elderflowers clogged up the siphon so badly near the bottom of the primary that my carboy is only filled till about 5 inches below the top. Around where the bottle begins to get smaller.
Any advice with working with these things to avoid this problem in the future? Or was i doing it wrong to begin with?
thanks for the advice
