Hi,
I'm from New Zealand. I'm looking for a place that supplies elderberries. My local home brew shop no longer stocks these.
Preferably, I'm looking for a NZ supplier but an international supplier of dried elderberries over the net would suffice.
Also, can anyone reiterate how to get rid of the gunge that elderberries make. I read it he before but have since forgotten what the trick is.
Cheers Mike
Mike,
I believe it was Ray that helped me on this last year. Standard vegetable oil cuts right through the muck. Just make sure you keep the oil away from your wine by washing and sanitising thoroughly.

That is correct. You could use olive oil and leave it in the carboy and not worry about washing it out well. Before corks and glass bottles, wine was stored in ceramic urns under a layer of olive oil. You could claim you are making old world wine. If you do, let us know how it comes out. I think I will wait on someone else to try this one. ;o)
