Re: Elderberry wine

Thanks for those. I don't think the recipe was dissimilar, but it did say not to crush the fruit, I remember that, so that's probably the problem. I'll print out yours and make sure it gets mashed not stirred and try again.
Cheers,

wine with mould

Hi,
I've 3 demijohns of elderberry wine ready to rack, and one of them has something floating on top which could well be mould. It doesn't smell too bad. Has it had it or is it rescuable please?
Cheers,
Sue.
