Re: Elderflower Champagne AT LAST!!!
Elderflower champagne is some of my favorite tipple.
Now I hope your bottles are strong ones. We did our 1st lot last year and put it in beer bottles. They were all under the stairs and 2 simply blew up as the pressure inside was too strong!! You should have seen the mess everywhere with bits of glass and sticky liquid everywhere!
This year, we used freecycle to get some empty champagne bottles to put our new brew in. That should keep it from blowing up!!

Oh yes, after my Grandmas Ginger Beer bottle bombs years ago I insisted we got bottles that could take the pressure! I'm too scared not to :D
