I just did a blackberry wine and the fruit still smells lush on coming
out of the primary in the strainer bag. Thought of washing it and
putting it into my rumpot. I decided not to on this occasion, and put
it in the composter as usual, but I thought I would ask......

Any of you tried using ex-strainer bag fruit in your rumpot? Good idea
or bad idea?

Sean

can't see why not... although all the fermentables are probably used up.
you may get aroma & a pale flavor in your final product but no contribution
to PA. i've been known to be wrong on many occasions, this may be one of
them. HTH, regards, bob

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.

Hmmm. Don't you press the fruit or at least hand squeeze it in a strainer
bag to get the last drop out? I cann't immagine using the pulpy, yeasty
goop I have left over in my Rumpot. Maybe it is a matter of proceedure but
.... Ugggh.

Yes, I pressure the bag slightly to get the juice out. I figure if it
still smells that fab a quick wash to get the yeast ioff and it should
be reusable. Just gathering opinions

A.J....a rumpot is a large ceramic airtight vessel into which one
seasonally adds fruit, rum and sugar in "layers" over the course of
the year, resulting in a large quantity of lush tasting fruity rum
liqueur sometime around xmas.
