Racking the elderflower champagne to the keg carbing it up and transferring to bottles with the carbonation cap, plus of course tasting!

I'll have to try this next year, we get a lot of elderflower around here

Great 2 vids on how to do it properly. Well done. What was the final gravity in the end and the abv? 1080 to 998? makes it about 11%. I'm going to make it this year but will bottle in Champagne bottles even though I have Corny Kegs.

[@DudesBrews]

thanks! I can't find the full details for this batch but it was somewhere between 11-12% if I remember rightly

Looks great! I'm making some for my wedding so going straight into glass bottles. Could you expand slightly on what I need to do or when I know the right time to decant into the bottles is please? Thank you!

wow that fizz in the glass at the end when you poured had me watering at the mouth, problem is I don't think we have elderflowers in France, would it work with others like roses etc.

[@DudesBrews]

TheJoshGable I believe they are common across Northern Europe so depending where you are in France there should be some around, never tried with different flowers but might work

Hi how do you stop the sediment from rushing to the top when you open a bottle

[@DudesBrews]

this was force carbonated in the keg rather than bottle conditioned so no sediment to worry about
