Thudmonkey
i know iv been away and very lazy with the posts lately and the stick i have received from folk has been plenty but i have been a little busy. this past week i have been watching in excitement the first part of the fermentation stage of ThudMonkey elderberry wine. picked from the castle over the water, we got quite a harvest and I'm pretty sure that the gallon that i have made could have easily been 2 or 3. If you remember we brewed sloe gin last year and after a gathering of friends at thuds recently it proved a very nice tipple. so now its the elderberry wine and i wonder if its a contender for napa next year? hmmmm we will have to see.

Elderberry from your Blackberry?
Thud and I had a Devonian aunt who used to make elderberry wine from a huge tree in our gran's back garden. Never got to taste it, I was too young.
you will certainly taste this, hopefully its drinkable.
