Rhubarb Wine - Day 3 to 7

With the bucket of wine covered & in a warm room, a sneaky peep will reveal that it does not at this point look very appetising - less like a delicious light rose style wine, more like something which might appear on Dr Who.

It will be fizzing away like a grown-up bowl of Rice Krispies, & you can hear & see the contents of the bucket furiously working away, all the while the yeast eating up the sugar & transforming it into alcohol.

In a few days it will calm down sufficiently for it to be transferred to a demijohn without the danger of it frothing out through the airlock like a sherbet fountain.

But for now, besides a daily stir, it can be left quite happily to its own devices.
