Elderflower champagne

Its amazing the stuff you hoard and drag from one house to another in a move!

Just had a scrounge in my dumping ground behind the shed and look what I found.

The last time I used these was 25 to 30 years ago when the big one was filled with home made Guinness and the smaller barrel had cider in it. There are another two barrels up behind shed as well. I reckon with a good scald out I can use the fermenting bucket and make enough Elderflower champagne to fill the small barrel and the few bottles I have sourced.

Jobs a goodun. Just need some dry weather now to pick the elderflowers.

I used have a little green barrel like your little red one, mine held cider in a previous life, then when I was wine making it was great for making up a punch for parties, it certainly packed a punch when you threw a bottle of vodka or gin into it.
