Roadkill Cookout - Elderflower Champagne

Last year I had some of Danny's Elderflower Champagne (as well as a pigeon). I tried to make my own from a googled Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall recipe, but it failed miserably. Danny, not sure what your username is on here but could you post the recipe for me/all to attempt!?

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Chris

I don't know Danny (Taylor)'s HUBB name but Phil, who helps him with the cookout certainly will.

Regards, Mick

Plenty of people on BushcraftUK: Community Forum who can answer that one amongst a thousand other questions!

Elderflower Champagne

I've used HFW's recipe before and it's worked fine. It all depends on whether or not the natural yeast on the flowers is present. If you've had heavy rain etc it can sometimes wash the natural yeast off and you may have to add brewers yeast to compensate.

The recipe I tried last year was just elderflowers, sugar, lemon juice, water and a table spoon of white wine vinegar. Left for about 48 hours and then strained into screw cap wine bottles.

Leave it for at least 6 weeks (longer is better). If it has worked you should have sediment in the bottom of the bottle.

Thanks people. I've messaged Phil but otherwise I'll just give HFW a second shot!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
