I’ve done a few and this one is worth the extra effort:
Moley’s elderberry wine
3 lbs Elderberries
1 kg Sugar
200g Raisins
500ml Red Grape Juice
Juice of 1 Lemon
Boiled or bottled water to 6 pints
1 tsp Pectolase
Red Wine Yeast or GP Yeast Compound & Nutrient
Mince the raisins and boil everything together with about 2 litres of water. Mash the fruit up but don’t blender it. Add the yeast when cool and let it ferment on the fruit for 2 days to a week. Then pass it through a seive into a demijohn. Once the fermentation has calmed down, add the red grape juice and top up with water to the shoulder of the demijohn. This is a long term wine, so once fermentation has finished and you’ve racked it off the yeast, put it back in the demijohn with an airlock and leave it for a minimum of 6 months and it’ll start to get good after a year!
The recipe is from an old post by Moley on thehomebrewforum.
