rhubarb

[Old un]

I only use rhubarb till about half way through the season for making wine.
I heard it said that you can use older rhubarb for making wine if you cook it for a while which helps to break it down.

I have never tried it what do you think

I used a freeze and thaw method for apples last year and was mucho impressed. The object here also was to breakdown the cells to allow the juice to flow more easily. Boiling is efectiveley only braking down the cells.

I seem to recall there was a video on it somewhere on the subject ..... is there an admin in house?

The freeze/thaw method is a fab way of extracting juice from rhubarb. A wine number 1 based rhubarb & ginger is a pretty decent drop
