Did a brew today, but had no time for a partial mash brew. Last weekend, I didn't have time and also did not like the weather forecast much either, so skipped it.
Two weeks ago, on a family walk, I picked some Elderflowers, carrying them around in a paint straining bag, and made a cordial with them, along the lines suggested by some Dutch guy. I'll find the link in a Mo and post it up.
So today's Wherry (from the last Wilko sale) went on with this 2L of cordial and US 05, saved in little bottles that once held lemonade. No mash, no boil, no nothing. Somehow, I feel as if I might have let the side down.
Actually, I can't find the reference to the procedure, whereby, he picks his "screens" and leaves them for 24 hours, then shakes them to death in the plastic bag, then boils the detatched petals up in water and sugar for 15 mins.
