Yeah too bad she's married.
Avoid picking from roadside as most probably exposed to exhaust fumes, just lay the flowers out on some paper or tea towel and allow the bugs to escape.
Given this ago, first time. I notice everyone else puts in vinegar but you don't? Any idea why they use vinegar? Aldo I've got old grolsch swing top bottles, the hold larger which is pretty gassy so I'm going to try them.... Hopefully they don't go pop!
Hi...My champs has had two days in the bucket now but no sign of fermentation.How much champagne yeast should i add??...
Hello Mrs. McLean, Thanks for the wonderful video, nicely done! I have a question about the plastic bottles, can one use these for making sparkling wine, then pour and cork in champagne bottles? Thanks again, Rozario Perovic

You could, but you would be best adding sulfite, when you transfer it to glass bottles, to kill-off the yeast and stop it fermenting further so you don't get exploding bottles. Before doing this you may be best chilling the sparkling wine in the plastic bottles for a few weeks to allow the built up carbon dioxide to absorb more into the wine, otherwise it may go a bit flat. You may wish to use méthode classique instead if you have made a dry wine that you wish to make sparkling, then sweetening if desired at the end after disgorging. HTH
deffo going to have a go...
how many elderflowers do u need for your recipe
I thought your video was awesome!! Do I keep in dark cool place to wait 3 weeks or does it matter?
can you use a lid and bubbler instead of the muslin

You can do but the first firmentation can be quite aggressive and bubble over the bubbler!

I know them both, and he certainly thinks so, and quite rightly...
Wild yeast are too slow, just use champagne yeast and follow temp. recommendation.
hi young lady have a rhubarb champagne recipe great video
At 1:23 you say you can use the wood for firemaking. I would just like to give a word of warning. Do not use the wood for firemaking if you plan to cook on the fire since everything on the elder tree except for the flowers are poisonous, even the berries if not prepared properly. But especially the wood with the pith that is inside of it.
LOVE FREE BOOZE!
I can only see your beauty.
Doesnt look very sparkling, would of been nice to see what happened when you opened the plastic bottle too.
Pick from high up and not by the roadside or in the city. Avoid animal piss, road dust and exhaust fumes that settle on your elderflowers 👎 sod drinking that!
taste like sugar
Great video, I'm planning to make some of this! Nice arse too ;)
