My usual yearly ritual of collecting blackberries and elderberries has been quite successful this year.
2kg of blackberries and 1kg elderberries, all brought to the boil with 2.5kg sugar and left to cool overnight.
Mash it a bit and them strain in to 3 demijohns with a cup of strong tea and some yeast nutrient and pectolase.
This year I'll be using lalvin ec-1118 yeast, although it's supposed to be for sparkling wine, it gets some good reviews for hedgerow wine.
Sg of 1.085 any hoping to get it down to 1.000 for a nice 10.5% tipple
