Not beenon herefor awhile. After last year's sucsess with this one here it is again. This time my Elderberry trees gave me 6kg within reach without ladders and dam it took ages to pick them off the stems. A good 3 hours. Left them over night soaking in a Campden solution. Been lazy and chucked them in here and went over them with a stick blender and added 3kg of dissolved honey. Just cheap stuff from Costco. Only problem is most of my mead making has involved bottling and drinking of late so I only have this white wine yeast, bread yeast and champagne yeast. I'm fed up with champaign yeast as it takes every thing to dry. I'm not even sure what I'll top this up to I have 3 spare 5l demijohns after bottling ginger mead tonight so I'll probably go up to 4 gallons on my bucket for pressing out the fruit and see how it goes. Will report back with an sg in a bit if I can get one in all the fruit.
