So we got a little rain, and then sunshine, and so I went Elderflower foraging and came home with a little haul of a few litres that smell just divine. There were still flowers yet to open, so it's still not too late to start that brew, but get your skates on. There were also plenty of sprays that have got berries started.
The flowers I collected are in tied plastic bags, have been so since yesterday evening. Later tonight I'll shake them up for a while and get them into muslin bags (minus the stalks that will only make your wine taste awful). Then the brew that's on the go will be ready for them, its gravity has dropped to around 1025 I think, and the fermentation is quite gentle now.
