Very impressive!
@Jovimaple Which Frutta kits did you do? We did the blackberry and it tastes fantastic (to us).
I know very little about Elderberry. Do you buy juice or do you get fruit or??? Kind of on my bucket list.
Thanks. This project was just what I needed. I’ve spent way too much time sitting on my A$$ since the pandemic started and wine making only fills so much time. Now spring is almost here… and gardening
. Before long I’ll be too busy.
Filtering strawberry rhubarb, it was impressive what a #3 pad does on yeast cells.
Will have to decide what goes into 2022 contest by the end of the month. , , ,

That looks good. I'm trying to work up the nerve to start my first ever rhubarb wine from scratch. Funny thing is that I started this hobby saying rhubarb would be my first wine since we grow a lot of it. Now it waits in the freezer with a new crop ready to emerge shortly.

Rhubarb is the best! I'm going to "polish" some with my (new to me) buon vino this weekend. I also made a couple of bottles of sparkling with the surplus last racking. Looking forward to trying those later this summer. I'm hoping to polish the rhubarb and my first ever super inky cab with the same filter pads but really don't know if that is a good idea.
Thanks for your input. There are a number of people on this forum who are known rhubarb wine people, but you are a new one to me. Sparkling rhubarb. . . never even thought of that. Glad you chimed in!
In the distant past we had bushes on our property so I made fresh. This time and a few years ago I purchased Vintners Best concentrate. Note that this is not the best concentrate, as the first ingredient on the label is "apple juice". However, my last batch was VERY well liked (all gone now), a gallon was in stock last Saturday, so I purchased another gallon. The last wine was quite drinkable at the year mark, and that's fine with me. If I can locate fresh elderberries I'll make a heavy duty one.
My notes are not yet up-to-date, but if you're interested in following progress, here's the link:

You can get good recipes from folks here.
Rhubarb is on the top of my list this year. I can't wait! I started this hobby too late last year. Half my rhubarb was made into catsup.
My first thought was, "what does catsup wine taste like?"
High praise indeedI followed a recipe found in a newspaper, and the result contained alcohol.
. I think I’ve tasted that one 
gosh @toadie i would have thought you would pick up on the C clamp and U channel
The C clamp even got paint. ,,> filtering rhubarb tonight.<
somehow I don’t like leakage and the extra support manages it.
I know! Since I started this hobby I'm asking that question about EVERYTHING!
Make a gallon of catsup wine ... you'll learn to stop asking!
@Khristyjeff, my Elderberry is in progress. I inoculated last night, and it's showing hints of activity, so I'm off to a good start. The recipe I made up has pretty much the kitchen sink in it.
Maybe.Make a gallon of catsup wine ... you'll learn to stop asking!
Maybe not.
I've read about jelly/jam wine. I still have an assortment on my canning shelf. Hmmmm......
