Elderflower Wine

As intended, I've started a batch of elderflower wine. It's a little time-consuming, trimming the flowers from the stems, but hopefully worth it. I used Gervin strain 5 (GV5, white label) yeast, which is the white wine, low-temperature strain. The low-temperature (down to 8-10ºC) ability is actually one that would be useful in a red-wine yeast, as the blackberry/elderberry wine made in the autumn is slow over the cool winter months. As it's staying 18-24ºC at the moment, I hope this wine will move quickly!

Anyway, I've made enough (hopefully) to fill a demi-john, which meant scaling the recipe slightly (to 4l of water). Notes on progress will follow...
