OOOOoh no - absolute worst case scenario you add more yeast - there are ways of doing it!!!

Throwing wine down the sink?? I think not. )grin2(

Erm, that's why I didnt :oops:

. I thought you might have a rescue for me :-D

It's now bubbling at the rate of one bubble every 6 seconds (yes, I'm sad, I watch it and count the bubbles :oops:

)

Helen, I have just been given two sacks of rhubarb, we can freeze some of it but we will still have a load left. I read what you said about using the earlier stalks but is it worth giving it a go with what I have been given?
I would hate to waste it and I think making it into five gallons of wine is a perfect way of using it. )grin2(

Well, what have you got to lose - a few lbs of sugar? It just says in the recipe I use to utilise early rhubarb as it can jellify.

Does vodka dissolve jelly? )j;

Ha ha ha - now you mention it, rhubarb wine jelly sounds ok really, doesn't it? I used to make rhubarb and orange jam too - that was nice.

I like the sound of rhubarb and orange jam, dont suppose you have a recipe mrs Al could use in her jam maker do you? :-D

Post by **p.penn** » 31 Aug 2011, 20:35

Absolutely not. However, if you send me a jam maker (non-returnable) I will test my recipe out just to ensure it works, and then I will share it with you. )grin2(

Also, I would hate to embarrass you by giving you a recipe that required jam making skills rather than a machine to make it. )run(

Okay so if I promise to do it in a propper jam pan will you share?

Post by **p.penn** » 31 Aug 2011, 21:02

I might.

Well, I have just racked my rhubarb wine for the first time.

Wish it was clearer. {rofwl}

So why do you have demerara and icing sugur in them then?
oh an the third one on the right looks much cloudier than the the other two. )grin2(

Since I've just started my rhubarb wine I thought I'd resurrect this thread )t'

At the moment its sat in a bowl with a shed load of sugar and producing a surprizing ammount of juice (tastes jummy) :-D
