Sean, for the contest you could simply brew a proven favourite Bitter recipe and add elderberries and/or damsons to the secondary fermentor.
Or: our Velvet Stout would be a perfect candidate for fruit
Or: Burton Bridge Damson Porter
Burton Bridge in Burton-Upon-Trent, Staffordshire, UK
OG: 1045
ABV: 4.5%
IBU: ≈30
Colour: very dark reddish brown
Grainbill: 92% Maris Otter, 5% Crystal Malt, 3% Chocolate Malt, + damsons to smooth out bitterness and add a little sweetness
Hops: 50% Target, 50% Challenger
Yeast: fruity English ale strain

If you remember a while ago Seymour I talked about using a one can kit velvet stout kit I could use this instead .... But when to add the damsons and how ?

Re: Dry elderberry wine recipe
Yeah, that's what I was referring to. I think this concept would be DELICIOUS. You could brew it and primary ferment as usual. Then, if you wanna play it safe: place your damsons in a heavy pot, cover with water, bring barely to a boil to sterilize, possibly stir in a crushed campden tablet, muddle a bit with a potato masher, allow to cool, dump into a fermentor bucket, then rack your "finished" Velvet Stout onto it, then bulk-age for a month before bottling/kegging. Alternately, if you don't want to play it safe, skip the sterilization steps and simply add the damsons to the bucket and rack "finished" beer onto them. The wild yeasts will kick-start a lambic-style secondary fermentation of the remaining sugars.sbond10 wrote:If you remember a while ago Seymour I talked about using a one can kit velvet stout kit I could use this instead ....

Re: Dry elderberry wine recipe
Or I could really make it wild and chuck um in dry hop style mid ferment .... Or put um in a seperate bucket with some sugar and yeast boiling water and leave for a few days then strain then add um to the bottling bucket ( without or with priming sugar I'm undecided ) would that work ?
And how much 200g into a litre of water to the above and sugar 50/100g
Sorry I'm thinking out load at mo bouncing ideas
