Good video, you forgot to show, add the yeast! :) Make life easier next time and mash the berries until mushy, once they start to get mushy, add the sugar to thicken. After the sugar thickens them back up, smash them again for a more complete squeeze! Where about are you? Sound Australian? Here in NY, I get these crazy looking white spiders w/red design living on my bushes. Elderberry is poison to some people, be careful w/ new friends!
Enjoyed the video. We normally pick elderberries to make jam. Think we will try making some wine this year.
It is easier to get the berries off the stems by sliding a fork down from the top of the stem towards the berries, we find this is much quicker than using your hands. Hope this helps :)

Hi I have just made elderberry and apple wine and before I have made elderberry and Runnerbean wine. both are very nice.
The runnerbean make the wine a little less tarty.
I would like to make sloe gin but I don't know what Sloe looks like on the bush.
