I was just going to make a new posting on this.

I pity all of you who did not make this wine !!!!
I bottled a 30 liter carboy (already) and man it is great, really great.
Deliscious. It has a real good elderflower flavor.
It gave me just 33 bottles........

Fortunately I still have another carboy with 30 liter waiting
to be bottled

I am really glad I made this much.

Luc.. my elderberry is just starting to flower ..the buds are almost open..

I don't think I'll have enough for gallons of it.. but maybe just enough for a gallon.. or I can wait for the berries and do a gallon of those..

I know where there is another tree in someones garden.. so am going to ask nicely if I can have some of theirs too

Luc,
Keep the wine send me the elderflower

 

[Luc]

Allie, that is a tough decision.

Elderflower wine is great during summer.
Last year i made 10 liter (about 3 gallon) and I knew immediately that it would not last that summer.
That is why I made 60 liter this year.

It is an early drinker.

But then.............
I make about an equal amount of elderberry wine each autumn.
That is a great winter wine. I make it port-style heave in the alcohol and a lot residual sugar.

Luckily they are all over the place here. So I do not have to make that decision. There are at least a hundred large elderberry plants here in the near environment. Each year there are far more as I can pick.

Tom:
I have not yet tried to dry them, but next year I might.
Maybe someone in the US could send you some dried ones. Shipping from here would be outrages expensive.

I have 30litres on the go now. I did use dried elderflowers but the result seems ok so far.

 

[Luc]

Way to go Leanne !!!!

How did they smell, like litchie (lychee).
That is how mine smelled.

What ratio did you use ???
I used 1 liter flowers on 10 liter wine, but these were
fresh.
