Rhubarb Wine

Story location: Home / Blog / food_and_drink /
11/Aug/2008

I bottled our rhubarb wine tonight. It was a fairly simple recipe:

  • 1.5kg Rhubarb
  • 1.25kg Sugar
  • 1 small tin of grape concentrate
  • bakers yeast

I managed to get just over 5 bottles. I'll give it a few weeks to begin to mature before tasting.

On a related note, I've ordered an electric juicer. This should make future wines easier to make. It's blackberry season at the moment and hopefully I'll have time to go and pick some soon. A friend with a grapevine has promised to give us a load of grapes, so the juicer will definitely come in handy there.

Hi Mike, I made two brews of Rhubarb wine last year, I also used "Riches" Kwick Clear finings on the 2nd brew and it made it crystal clear. Having left the brew in the "demi" for about 6 months I then bottled it, and drank some - magic. Leave your for at least 6-9 months before drinking, it'll be a lot smoother.

I've also brewed plum, apple, pineapple, peach, raspberry,and of course rhubard.
