The mother in law handed me some of her rhubarb and told me to make wine... So I did
If any one interested I've put the recipe below
2.5kg rhubarb (washed chopped and frozen)
325 grams light raisins
4.29 L water
2 kg sugar
1/3 tsp tannin
1.5 tsp yeast nutrient
1.5 campden tablets
1 tsp pectic enzyme
1 pkg yeast Qa-23 Lavlin
Ok so I thawed rhubarb in primary and added 1.5kg sugar + campden (I held back .5kg in case I over shoot or if I under shot I could add more)
It's now 3 days on. I've strained rhubarb and added rest of ingredients except yeast.
I undershot my target gravity. Wanted 1.085/1.090 hit 1.066 ish so I made a syrup with the additional .5 kg sugar, let it cool and added it to primary.
Hit 1.093
It's now covered and waiting on yeast, I'll do that tomorrow.
Tastes nice and it's not even started but it's always a good thing to start with a nice sample.
Added yeast this morning so we've started the waiting game.
Just racked to secondary, went from 1.093 to 1.011 5 days...tastes great :) sorry bout the sideways pic
