How to Make Elderberry Wine. Easy Step by Step way I Make our tradational homemade elderberry wine. Makes a deleicious full bodied port style red wine.
Ingredients for recipe:
2.5 Gallons unchlorinated water
7 lbs. elderberries
10 lbs. sugar
3 packs Lalvin Bourgovin RC 212 Yeast

I make sure to cover my crock tight enough to keep bugs and dust out while fermenting, but loose enough to allow gases to escape.
While fermenting there is never any mold of bad smells.
Fresh made wine is strong, I am careful not to drink much at once. I keep mine in a dark closet for years, the longer I keep it, the better it tastes.

Makes 12 Liters Finished Wine
