Elderberry Wine Recipes

ELDERBERRY WINE

Elderberry Wine image

This is the basic recipe for red fruit wines. It will work with blackberries, blueberries, plums, or any other dark fruit or berry. All these wines age very well, and do well with added oak. If you make them correctly and age them a few years, you can shock your wine snob friends. Serve it first, and tell them what it is later.

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

9 to 15 pounds elderberries, (stems removed)
10 quarts water, (spring water is best)
3 to 6 pounds of sugar ((see above for exact amount))
Tartaric acid ((see above for exact amount))
1 1/2 teaspoons pectic enzyme
3 teaspoons yeast nutrient
Wine yeast

Steps:

Crush the berries by hand, or pulse them in a food processor in batches just enough to break up the berries. Do not liquefy them.
Pour the crushed berries into a large pot with 10 quarts of water. Add 3 pounds of the sugar. Bring to a simmer, then turn off the heat. Heating elderberries makes them easier to digest, and helps set the color of the wine.
Pour the juice into a freshly cleaned 5-gallon bucket and let it cool to room temperature. Test the juice for acid and sugar. Both may be a little low, so be prepared to add another 1 to -3 pounds of sugar and possibly tartaric acid. Add tartaric acid to get the juice to about 7 grams per liter. You might not need to add any - I've had elderberry batches that needed no additional acid and, others that needed a lot. We're dealing with a wild food, and wild foods are variable.
Add the pectic enzyme (and tannin, for blueberries and blackberries and blueberries), and chill to below 50°F in the fridge or with ice packs. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on the juice to keep out air. Keep the juice covered and at this temperature for up to 3 days. The longer you cold soak, the more flavor you extract. (But you run a higher risk of oxidation, which will turn the wine an unappetizing brown, or of spontaneous fermentation, which can ruin the whole batch.)
On the third day, bring the juice up to room temperature. Add half the yeast nutrient as the juice warms. Once the juice is at room temperature, hydrate your yeast and add it in, then follow the above directions from here.

Yield Makes a 4.5 litre/1 gallon batch

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

25 heads elderflower
200g sultanas , roughly chopped
1 lemon , zested and juiced
1kg sugar
5g citric acid
75ml cold black tea
5g sachet wine yeast
1 campden tablet

Steps:

Read our guides on how to clean brewing equipment and home brewing safety tips before you get started. Trim the elderflower florets off the stems with scissors or a wide-toothed comb into a clean bucket.
Add the sultanas, lemon zest and juice to the bucket. Dissolve the sugar and citric acid in 2l boiling water and pour into the bucket. Cover and leave for 8 hours or overnight to steep.
Add the tea and 2.5l cold water, stir, then sprinkle the yeast over. Cover and leave in a moderate (15-20C) spot, out of the sunlight, to ferment until the foam has died down - this usually takes five days, but could be up to 14.
Transfer into a clean bucket or demijohn, leaving the sediment behind. Top up to 4.5l with cooled boiled water if desired. Cover tightly (a lid with an airlock is recommended). Leave to ferment, this usually takes six weeks (little trails of bubbles are a visual indicator).
When the liquid stops bubbling and clears a little, transfer to a clean bucket, leaving the sediment behind and adding the campden tablet. Leave to clear, which may take a few months, then decant into sterilised bottles. Store in a cool, dark place. The wine will improve for up to 18 months.
