Ex-strainer bag fruit in the rumpot?

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

rumpot, Bob.....I'm not doing any fermenting in there, . You ferment your rumpot?

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.

What exactly is a Rumpot?

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.

Hummm... Sounds tasty. I need to look into trying this.
