Hi,
I decided, this year, to give brewing some elderflower champagne a go.
I picked a load of elderflowers
Sterilised the bucket and everything going in it (except the flowers. I gave them a wash)
Chucked the flowers in a makeshift fabric bag thing
Added sugar to warm water and added the flowers (in their bag)
Sat the whole lot on a heat mat in the garage...
It's covered with some cloth and elastic holding the cloth in place and remains that way.
Nothing happened for a few days...
I got a few white specs of mould and 1 or two green specs of mould (Didn't sound right). I hooked them out to the best of my ability
Chucked in some packet yeast
Now it's gone mad, I can hear it fizzing, I guess it's fermenting.... but is it supposed to look all scummy?
