I freeze my fruit pulp from the straining bag and when I have enough
(several kilo's) I make a second wine with it.

But beware most of the flvors are gone and there will be loads of tannins
left. So I just use it to make a second (small) wine with it with less
alcohol and less body but great as a summer table wine.

Leaving it to long in the rumpot will leave you with a high tannin content.
