How to make rhubarb wine from scratch using fresh rhubarb, sugar, yeast, and a few other ingredients. Rhubarb is potentially the best of the country wines that you can make (at least white wines!) and isn't difficult to make as a beginner. It's a refreshing and fruity dessert wine with a sweet rhubarb finish. With the yeast I use in the video, it can also be up to 15% ABV.
Follow along through these winemaking instructions to see how to make rhubarb wine including preparing the must, fermenting it, aging, and bottling it. For much more detail, including how to make a simple sugar syrup and how to measure how much alcohol is in the wine, visit the recipe page here: lovelygreens.com/rhubarb-wine...

@BlessingsfromNorthIdaho Год назад

That wine looks lovely. I’ve been wanting to try my hand at winemaking. I might have to wait one more year for the rhubarb though as my plants are only a couple of years old. There is a local-ish wine maker that does rhubarb, huckleberry, pear, and cranberry wine. My favorite is the pear, it is amazing.😊. TeresaSue P.S. it’s still winter in North Idaho but I do have two types of tomatoes and five types of peppers started. We have such a short growing season I have to start them early.

@Lovelygreens Год назад

We all start them around the same time of he year, usually undercover. They need such a long growing time, as you say. Pear wine sounds FAB! Must try that 💚

@Paravetje 6 месяцев назад

I'm excited to try this sometime. Our garden came with an established rhubarb plant, which looks like it's actually multiple plants that desperately need deviding, which I should probably do this year. Last year we made rhubarb compote from it, which was really nice, and the first time we harvested it ourselves (only made it with storebought rhubarb before). If we get a big harvest this year, I might try to find these supplies and ingredients and try it, I've never made anything alcoholic though.

@Vallevan Год назад

Love the video! Would you recomend using this method, specifically the aging part, for other country/fruit wines?

@Lovelygreens Год назад

Yes! You could use berry juice instead of rhubarb juice, for example. Add the same amount of white sugar, though.

@marygorchidsmore2058 Год назад

Hi Tan8a, great video and lovely wine! I'm very tempted to give it a go, though need to buy the equipment ! Do you know how many percent alcohol it produces this way?

@Lovelygreens Год назад

Up to 15% with the yeast I use, but that gets diluted when it gets back sweetened. To know for sure for any particular batch, you'd need to get a piece of equipment called a hydrometer.

@janenewley1014 Год назад

Many thanks…I,ve been making “garden fruit” wines for many years…but never tried rhubarb…so will now have a go whilst the rhubarb is in full swing😀😀😀. Secondary fermentation…My understanding of the term is different to yours…I use it to describe a fermentation that occurs…either naturally or self induced…after the wine has completed a first fermentation…and thus it produces a sparkling wine….

@Lovelygreens Год назад

Here, the differentiation is to show two different steps of fermenting - rapid fermentation in one vessel and secondary fermentation once you move it to an air-tight vessel. Secondary fermentation can also mean making sparkling wine - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_fermentation_(wine)

Hi Tanya Do you make other wine's

@stephb4308 Год назад

Hello again, I started making my wine and following your recipe and I've left the juice in a fermentation tank 5 days as instructed and yes it was a pretty noisy business! (I woke up the second night thinking a burglar was forcing entry). But now it's gone completely silent after 6 days. I took the densimeter reading which was exactly 1.000. So my question is has it already completely fermented and should I move on to the ageing section now? Many thanks for your thoughts:-)

@Alasdair54 Год назад

Rhubarb is one of the better options for country wine. Very little cleaning and preparation of the fruit is required. Personally have never added tannin/strong tea but will try that this year. Last year's is still maturing in a demi-john. Usually have primed the result with more sugar and into champagne bottles to make "rhubarb champagne". That's not for beginners though - experiment with ordinary wines first before trying the sparkling option (it's dangerous if you over-prime and you must use proper champagne-style bottles as ordinary wine bottles will explode and can kill).

@Lovelygreens Год назад

Have you used plastic bottles for your champagne before? I know it's frowned on in the brewing community, but I use them for safety when making elderflower champagne.

@Alasdair54 Год назад

@@Lovelygreens I haven't for sparkling wine but I do use plastic bottles for home brewed beers - some bought specifically for the purpose and lots of empty Morrisons 500ml sparkling Scottish Mountain Water bottles.

@jamieboley4432 3 месяца назад

Great video! Are there any issues with doubling the ingredients and then doing the 2nd fermentation in 2 jugs?

@Lovelygreens 3 месяца назад

Not at all - get brewing :)

@SabineMoshovel-nb2uo Год назад

I see that you make it with fresh rhubarb. I have a lot in my freezer and wonder if it would be possible to do with frozen (thawed) rhubarb as well.

@Alasdair54 Год назад

I have used frozen rhubarb in the past. Just defrost it thoroughly in fridge overnight. Try and not get too much of any freezer induced ice into the mix.

@FreeYourMindArt Год назад

How would you class this wine? Sweet, semi or dry?

@Lovelygreens Год назад

This version is a sweet wine with just the right amount of dryness added by the tannin in the black tea. Superb 👌

@bree1984shock 11 месяцев назад

I have some rhubarb in the freezer could I use that to make this?

Fresh rhubarb. Rhubarb mead sounds intriguing!

@aldas3831 Год назад

Hi Tanya! Thank you for this recipe. My only concern is that I seem to have some type of allergic reaction to sulphites they add to wines. Is that product that you add the same product?

@Lovelygreens Год назад

You should leave Campden tablet out if you're allergic to sulfites, but please be aware that the wine may oxidize (spoil) and/or continue fermenting. Especially if you back sweeten it.

@aldas3831 Год назад

@@Lovelygreens thank you for getting back to me Tanya!

@MrSmoothasf Год назад

I've followed your recipe, just waiting now. What would happen if instead of adding water I used more rhubarb and just used the juice?

I've not tried, but that would be an awful lot of rhubarb you'd need. I don't think it's necessary.

@jamieboley4432 2 месяца назад

What is the max sugar water you’d put in? I have 2.6 gal split into 3x 1 gallon jugs and trying to decide to order a half gal jug or continue on with the 3x 1 gallon jugs. I’m going to sweeten it regardless though. TIA

@Lovelygreens 2 месяца назад

Hi Jaime, if you add too much sugar, it creates an environment that makes it difficult for the yeast to live. Use no more than three pounds of sugar per gallon of wine. You can back sweeten it after fermentation if you'd like.

@jamieboley4432 2 месяца назад

@@Lovelygreens sorry, I was referring to just the back sweeting of the wine part. Didn’t know if there is such a thing as too much back sweeting.

@Lovelygreens 2 месяца назад

You can back sweeten to taste, but oversweetening is a risk if you put too much in. For precise back sweetening, you'll need to know the specific gravity of the finished wine. You'll need a hydrometer for that. This article will be able to help: winemakermag.com/technique/backsweetening

@NichaelCramer Год назад

Beginner’s question. I see that many recipes for rhubarb wine call for some “strong black tea”. Just out of curiosity, what is the purpose of the tea? Thanks.

@Lovelygreens Год назад

No problem. It's because tea adds tannin, a kind of dry-bitterness that wine needs to have a full body of flavor.

@psychoskin3797 4 месяца назад

I didn’t know that - great video

@tonyshiner4569 Месяц назад

What is the alcal level

@Lovelygreens 18 дней назад

It depends on the wine yeast you use and how dry you make the wine. Mine is typically about 12-14%

@BergenholtzChannel Год назад

What about when you put your lips on the hose. You said it needs to be sterilized. Doesn't that unsterilize it?

@Lovelygreens Год назад

Only on the outside of the hose and you avoid letting that touch the inside of the demi. Alternatively, you can get a gadget that's an auto-siphoning hose.

@wwsuwannee7993 Год назад
