One carrier bag of carefully (!) picked nettle shoots,
plus rhubarb, ginger and lemon
Boiled for about 15 mins (to break down the formic acid);
smelled, BEFORE: great, something akin to elderflower even;
AFTER: yuk!
Added a little ginger powder and cream of tartar, which
resulted in a lot of fizzing and seems to have helped the yeast get going
And the dregs will make a good addition to the compost,
since nettles, like comfrey, make a good plant feed
