Hi,
I'm brewing my 4th brew, it's an all grain kit IPA.
I have a good handful of newly picked elderflowers that I wanted to add to the boil, but i forgot while trying to fix a leak in the plate cooler, so now I'm thinking of adding the flowers with the dry hop. I'm worried about infecting the beer with some bad bacteria from the flowers. Should I blanche the flowers first, would that be fine?
Thanks!
Sune
