Woohooo, Flowers Added

So, the next stage of the Elderflower Blush Quickie is on the way. I added 4 litres of flowers in the wee small hours, the gravity was 1042, higher than I anticipated, so fermenting slower than anticipated. This is not a concern tho, it is still going at a good pace, and i prefer slower rather than faster anyway. Anyway the addition was made in the wee small hours because for some reason the bag shaking didn't work well (always a first time) so what should have taken an hour or so took about 5! Apart from that all is well, the flowers still smell great, perhaps i just had too many in the bag.

So that 5 gallon batch is now in the big secondary fermenter, and the white Elderflower Quickie has now been racked into five 1 gallon DJs.
