Elderberry 2

[WVMountaineerJack]

Luc, we make elderberry in several different ways and each tastes different, a fresh berry taste is great, as is the old standard 3lb/gal wine. Just like grapes, you can make it so many different ways.

ps - we have been using your float the unripe berries out of a bucket with cold water to very good effect, we even made a youtube video of them floating out of the bucket to help people make elderberry wines. So thanks for the tip.

I you DO need to add acid I suggestb you use plain tartaric.

Citric acid or a blen with citric in it will give the elderberry wine some freshness that is mnot suitable for this wine.
Elderberry is like a grand port when made right.

Remember elderberries are very tannic so maybe no adjustment of the acidity is needed. I never do......
