Even more elderflower champagne

Here lying in the leaves of the Elder is a lovely bevvy of edlerflower brews. 

At first glance they appear to be the same, however the tasty number on the left is an example of the Elderflower Champagne I started 2 weeks ago. 

General recipe was:-

• 10 Ltr water
• 10 heads ederflower
• 3 lemons
• 1Kg sugar
• 3 Tbs white wine vinegar

Left to ferment with natural yeast for 4 days.

The cheeky number on the right is from a batch generated just a week ago and generally follows the same recipe, however, after a sample tasting of the original batch suggested it might be a little laid back, this batch contains 2Kg sugar and some champagne yeast from that fine purveyor Ebay, 

Time will tell… I think I need to invest in a vin-o-meter!
