I made elderberry wine a few years ago but dont have the space now, I used port yeast which was reccommended as more suitable 😋

I have spent the week walking, picking,and cooking, just finished blackberry jam, raspberry jam, raspberry jelly, elderflower jelly, and started the elderflower wine for the first time, have got some 10yr old sloe gin it's very special, like the sound of your blackberry wine need to get picking again, have you got a favourite method/recipe?

well i now have 10 lotes of Blackberry wine on the go lol ,and 5 Litres of wild plum wine ,,,,,whats next ,watch this space

As much as I can and know! Hence the name. Elderflower cordial/champagne, blackberries today for jam and ice lollies! Wild garlic never passes by untouched and the few mushrooms I'm very confident in get searched and picked every year. But agree with you Womble, would love to know so much more. I have the books but being shown first hand must give you the confidence you need!Sloe and Damson Gin just about stretches to the next batch - but that is only because I make bucket loads!!
