Has anyone made a rhubarb cider? If so I have a few questions. How much rhubarb per gallon? And how to add the rhubarb to the cider? Should it be boiled and mashed or just mashed? Also if I am using fresh rhubarb should I add campden to the mix? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have never added fruit/vegetable into the mix so I need general advice on adding and sanitation.
 
I think you need to approach this like a wine and look for recipes that way to find your answers. FYI - the apple industry has sooo much apples that they make concentrate, which is then used like sugar in other juices. I know some wineries make a cheaper product by using and apple juice blend rather than just that other fruit juice.
