Sounds like a tasty recipe. Now put it over ice in a pt. glass and drizzel in 1.5 oz Cruzan Black Strap rum for the perfect dark and stormy.

Do not waste good honey on any fermented beverage that must be cooked or boiled. Use the cheap stuff from the grocery store. Instead make a Cyzer or mead with the orange blossom honey.

Ok, I will admit to being a noob and I just winged it. No I did not boil the rhubarb just used sugar to help extract the juices and pressed. No I did not use pectic enzyme. My problem here is the very top half of the carboy and 1/2 gal of cold crashed top off wine has separated and cleared...

So far mine appears to be settling out well so far will rack again in a mo. I can wait I have some sunshine "dandelion wine" ready to bottle. 3 gal.

Just racked the above S.G. 0.995 math says 11.16 A.B.V. still needs time to clear but flavor is awesome dry slightly tart with hint of rhubarb. I could not have asked for a better product on my very first attempt at this with last years frozen chopped rhubarb. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Burnt mine in the nesco slow cooker over the coarse of a Satuday. Clean up is pretty easy with hot soapy water. Amazing how water soluble that black goo still is. Started mine in March before the bees came out. It is done fermenting needs to age still pretty hot. My 1000 lumen lamp barely show...

If you use a ginger beer plant how do you plan on making it non alcoholic? The by products of fermentation create alcohol. Will you distill this to drive out the alcohol and force carb? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew
