Caretaking of the various brews

Guy has been a busy brewer tonight - for a quick update:

1. Made sure the sugar was dissolved in the gooseberry and elderflower - note to self - dissolve in warm water next time first.

2. Stirred the elderflower and summer fruit

3. Added more champagne yeast to Elderflower no. 1 - after racking it off from the flowers yesterday fermentation seemed to have stopped so more yeast was added to get it going again and reduce the sugar content a bit more.

4. Started off a turbo cider - ltr of apple juice in a DJ with yeast and yeast nutrient. Over the next few days 3 litres more juice will be added until the right balance of sweetness is reached. A bit of an expeiment!
