elderflower

Afternoon all, I brewed a low-ABV (2.8%) elderflower ale this time last year. I found it tasty but a bit thin, so was wondering if anyone had a go-to recipe for something around 4.5% that they have had success with. I used to love Badger Golden Champion, so something along those lines would be...

Hi everyone, thank you very much for allowing me to join the forum. I have a question about brewing elderflower champagne. I am trying a recipe used a lot where I live in rural France. Simply, you create a mix of sugared warm water, lemons, limes, white wine vinegar, elderflowers and wine...

Does elderflower champagne always have to be bottled so early? All the recipes I've found say to bottle it around day 6 or 7 and then go one to list all the things you have to do to stop the bottles exploding! Why can't I just let the fermentation almost finish and then prime it when I bottle...

Hi, can anyone please advise on salvaging this elderflower champagne? It had 14 days in the fermenter. It only just started to fizz so I transferred to demi and nothing. It's dead! Is it because I managed to get some bits in?? I added sugar syrup to try and kick-start the fermentation process...

This year's Champagne is pretty good - lovely colour, crystal clear, nice taste etc. But it doesn't have bubbles! I cleared using wine finings, could this have caused the problem? Is there anything I could do to rectify this problem in the remaining bottles?

Im in need of A bit of help for my Elderflower Sparkly wine/champagne please. I am about a week into fermenting 23L and I just took a sample, the SG is now at 1010, it tastes lovely and it is still bubbling every 30secs or so. My question is about the carbonation, I want it nice and fizzy so...

Hi all, I am going to be making an elderflower sparkling wine and some Turbo Ciders this week, I do not have any yeast nutrient in though, I can’t get to a Wilko/boyes due to being stuck at home and I can’t find any online where delivery isn’t about a fiver! Is there anything else I can use...

Hi! I’m pretty new to homebrewing but have a 2 gallon batch of elderflower champagne on the go. I’m at the point where I’m thinking of bottling but I’m not sure whether it’s safe or even too flat. My OG was 1090 and I left in the primary for about 5 days before transferring to two demijohns...

I've got a fairly basic IPA fermenting at the moment, but with fresh elderflowers added in the last 5 minutes of the boil. I'm planning to dry-hop with Citra, but I'd like to add some extra elderflowers as well. I froze some of my harvest for this purpose; but freezing didn't work out that...
