The Mrs wants to use the Rhubarb out of the garden and the time is drawning near for some of the first crop. I need help with how to make it????
Having spoke to the great wine expet He tells me this...
Pick it young, 3 lbs to the gallon + 3 lbs sugar. Chop rhubarb into 1cm slices. Cover the base of your bucket with dry sugar, chuck in the rhubarb and cover with the rest of the sugar. That's it, no water. Leave for 24 hrs and the sugar will have drawn the juice out. Strain that to a DJ. Rinse the pulp with a couple of pints of cold water, strain that to DJ. Repeat rinse, strain, top up DJ to base of neck, add yeast & nutrient.
Anybody made this or has any other points to add to his recipe?
This is my first time at trying to make wines out of stuff that doesn't come in a carton :lol:
