Rhubarb Wine in Rural Banner by James Wake Man
James Wake man of Cottage Hill advocates rhubarb wine as superior in the Prairie Farmer piece. He describes boiling stalks in a cookstove boiler with two quarts water per barrel, draining juice without pressing, fermenting with two pounds sugar per gallon, corking tight after fermenting, and diluting with half water. He notes that boiling may beat pressing and yield a wilder wine-like flavor and invites experimentation.
