I originally posted this in newbie section but not sure if that's right.... Apologies for posting this twice.
Hi! I hope someone can help? I was told about this forum by the lovely gentleman who kindly gave me some wine making equipment on freecycle or freegle (can't remember which!) and I've fooled his instruction to make elderberry wine but I'm a bit stuck now! This is what I did
Put berries in bucket
Added900g sugar in hot water
Topped up to 3.5l with water
Added a crushed Camden tablet
Put lid on
Left 24 hours
Added a tsp pectolase
1 tsp yeast compound
Bit b1 tablet
Covered with lid
Left a couple of days (stirred anew times a day)
Strained out berries
Put liquid in Demi john and topped up with water
Put airlock on
Left for three months
I've just siphoned it into the bucket and added a crushed campden tablet again, tried to check with the hydrometer but it's just sunk to the bottom of the sample tube! I had a slight problem after I originally put the airlock on as it blew off when I was on holiday a few days after and was like that for 2 weeks but when I got home I out it back on and left it. I've tried a bit and it tastes vaguely alcoholic. What do I do? I've been reading books but I'm quite confused!
