Hi Omaroo
Rhubarb Champagne
1kg finely chopped rhubarb
750gm sugar
1.5tablespoons white vinegar
4.8L water
2 lemons juice and rind
Mix all of the above and leave if fermenter for 48hrs
Strain 3 times thru cloth
Bottle into PLASTIC PET(coke style) bottles
Ready in 2 weeks,aprox 8% alc.
WARNING DONT BOTTLE IN GLASS!!!!!!
The brew is still fermenting in the bottle,its adviseable to keep an eye on the PLASTIC bottles and release a bit of gas if they are getting very tight.
I gave a 2L bottle to my physio,a week later ours were getting uncomfortably tight,I warned her to release some gas from the bottle,she forgot.It blew up in a kitchen cupboard,the doors flew open covering the whole kitchen in rhubarb champagne 8O 8O 8O She had a bowl of salad on the bench for dinner at the time,the kids reckoned it was the best salad dressing they had ever tasted. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
Those PET bottles are rated to 120PSI!!!!!!
Also if there ends up too mutch gas in the bottle when you open it you get a geyser coming out the top.
ENJOY 8) 8) 8) 8)

Exploding home brew 8O
A mate stored a batch in his old man's cellar.
It ended up being an expensive brew
...a couple of bottles of Grange were included in the collateral damage :oops:

We used to make acholic ginger beer and put it in the old 2 ltr coke easy goer bottles, one year we had an overly gassy brew and when i opened it it took of like the shuttle and went about 50 metres down the backyard.
