I wouldn't be too worried about pectolase for rhubarb, there's next to no pectin in it (this is why its difficult to get rhubarb jam to set). From the one not very successful attempt in brewing rhubarb that I've done so far, there's no problem in getting it to clear.

I'm just starting into making a rhubarb wine myself. I had 7.7kg of rhubarb which produced about 6 litres of juice. I'll have to water it down as it's far too acidic at the moment. I might also bulk it up a bit with lidl grape juice.
