Rhubarb Champagne

Everyone loves Rhubarb yeah? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420127/ 

Seriously, it’s got to be one of the best films ever. The only word that people say is “rhubarb” for the entire duration of the movie. Yes, yes… I was about 6 the last time I saw it :)

Anyway..

This weekend I’ll be attempting rhubarb champagne. Seems to be a simple variant of the elderflower champagne. 

I’ve taken the recipe from here:-

and scaled it up for double volume:-

  • 10 ltr water
  • 7 cups rhubarb - I’ll weigh this and come up with an equivalent
  • 7 cups sugar - ~1.5kg
  • 2 lemons
  • 390ml cider vinegar

I’ll be using frozen rhubarb as I saw a post for rhubarb wine saying that it tastes better if frozen first. Does anyone know if this will kill the yeast though?
