Rhubarb

[MarkA]

Currently extracting the juice from the last of this year's rhubarb (frozen since June), I managed 10 gallons in all this year.

3lb Rhubarb
3lb Sugar
Young's Super Wine Yeast
(I'm going to add 250ml of white grape concentrate to a gallon just for variety)

Stick the chopped rhubarb in a bucket and add the sugar.

Leave overnight and make sure all the sugar has dissolved

Strain the juice off into a demijohn, rinse and repeat.

Add yeast and ferment at 18 degrees


I love this wine, so easy to make and always tastes great. If you're just starting out with fruit wines, this is a good place to start.

My Dads garden has loads of Rhubarb growing in it - you are giving me ideas!

Do you boil the Rhubarb first?

No need, just chop it up and bung it in with the sugar. It couldn't be easier!
