Im thinking of doing one of these as well and i was wondering a few things too. 1, am i ok using my standard beer/cider brewing kit? aka big bucket and leave it in a 22 degree airing cupboard? i have a thermal band thing my father gave me which i could use to boost the temp but it does look...

HI guys, a quick question about the amount of elderflower to be used. i followed a recipe for a pint of flowers per gallon, is that pushed down into the pint glass so its full or just sitting in it , as its probably a difference of 20 heads per gallon or 5 heads per gallon. i ask as ive just...
