Transferred to pb a couple of days ago and had a quick taste - the elderflowers came through just perfectly. I didn't add any zest in the end, decided it was probably better without.

Cheers for the advice,

Hi John

Glad its worked out well. =D>

My Spring ale with honey & elderflower had 150g florets added for last 5 mins of boil and the Elderflower flavour is full on at the moment. :shock:
In the barrel now. Hopefully it'lll calm down a bit!
