Rhubarb Wine Recipe

Ingredients:

5 lb rhubarb
Campden tablets
3 lb sugar
½ pint strong tea
Wine yeast
Nutrient
Water

Method:

Wipe the rhubarb sticks and chop into small chunks. Crush with a rolling pin, avoiding losing any juice.
Put into a fermenting bin and pour on 5 pints of cold water. Add 1 campden tablet, crushed and dissolved in a little warm water.
Cover and leave for 3 or 4 days, stirring a couple of times a day.
Strain and press the rhubarb dry and return to a clean fermenting bin.
Boil the sugar in 2 pints of water for 3 minutes and, when cool, mix into the pulp.
Add the tea, yeast and nutrient and cover. Allow to ferment for another 4 days, stirring daily.
Pour carefully into a gallon jar, leaving as much deposit behind as possible.
Fill up the jar with cooled, boiled water to where the neck begins.
Fit a fementation lock and leave until fermentation has finished.
Rack, as necessary, and add 1 Campden tablet after the first racking.
Syphon into bottles.

Makes 1 gallon of wine.
