Wine No. 5: Secondary Fermentation

Wine No. 5 (elderberry) has gone into secondary fermentation. Again I'm using a plastic 5L bottle, which costs a fraction of the price of a demijohn. These wines seem to produce so little CO2 during secondary fermentation that sealing them in doesn't seem to be a problem - and no need for airlocks.

The wine itself is a lovely colour, significantly darker than the double damson.

And that marks the end of the fruit wine brewing season. It will be nice to have no more brewing bins in the kitchen. At least until the next beer experiment...
