This morning I took the elderberries and damson I had in the freezer out to thaw. I weighed then this evening and had:
3.6kg Damsons
2.6kg Elderberries
So I mashed them up in a FV and added 1.7l of boiling water, 2 very ripe bananas 3tsps Pectolase and 3 crushed CT's.
My plan is to add nutrient and yeast in a couple of days and ferment on the pulp for a few days then strain onto sugar.
Any advice would be must welcome on whether to do 15 or 10 litres and what total sugar to aim for.
Also if I strain onto sugar, will it not simply clump up and not dissolve?
Cheers.
