Pour the boiling water and dissolved sugar over the elderberries and cover the primary Fermenter. When cool, stir in three finely crushed campden tablets, yeast nutrient and citric acid until dissolved. Re-cover the primary Fermenter and set aside for 12 hours. Add activated wine yeast in a starter solution and ferment until the specific gravity drops to 1.010, stirring and squeezing the bag daily.
