Still bubbling

Post: # 247636Post Hedgerow hoarder »

Is it normal for elderflower to still be bubbling? I put it in a DJ end of July! I'm making sparkling champagne so need totransfer and add sugar but don't want to while still bubbling.

I've always made mine in plastic pop bottles (after a few days in a covered bucket) and it's usually ceased in a few weeks but I do mine just using the natural yeasts. Have you added other yeast and how much sugar? Might be worth checking the SG to see how much is left.
