our home brew shop sells dried but I'm not sure how good they'd taste compared to fresh.

I've brewed a couple of batches of elderflower beer using dried elderflowers to general approval. 25g in a ~23l batch seems to work okay.
Here's the recipe, if it helps. https://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/golden-glory-1

Love gooseberries, try Williams Bristol Good Times if you can, lovely slightly sour pale ale.
