OK, Yoop.....you and I seem to be the mad Michigan winos. I just got 4.8 pounds of rhubarb given to me today, and they're going into the freezer as soon as I type this post!! Wish me success! ![]()

I made rhubarb custard pies today, but this weekend I'll cut rhubarb for wine! I'll cut it and stick it in the freezer until I make a batch. I think I'll make about 5 gallons this year- I still have 6 gallons to bottle from last year! It's beautifully clear- a nice golden color, believe it or not!

I have 3 rhubarb "bushes" in the back. Should I boil before freezing? |

No! Never boil fruit for wine making! Just rinse it off, cut off the bad parts and leaves and freeze. Freezing helps break up the cell walls, so the fruit should be very mushy when it thaws.

So when you say "sugar", do you recommend white sucrose (table sugar) or something like dextrose? I've got my rhubarb in the freezer to start this on the weekend. |

Table sugar. It works well for wines, and especially fruit wines, since it's only there to boost the ABV. It doesn't leave behind flavors like honey might.
