@CortneyD The main benefit of freezing is that the cell structure is ruptured, yes you could use a strainer and press by hand, I get tired wringing Mom’s flour sack hanging from a knob on the kitchen cabinets so I press with a bar clamp, , , lazy maybe?
The juice is clear coming out. No I haven’t tried cooking or a steam extraction which factories might do.
Yes I grow too much so freezer always is an issue at home. Work teaches me to go down the hall to the fork lift freezer and pick
I am just waiting for my rhubarb to get large enough to harvest. I will be making a batch soon. I don't have a press. Any disadvantage to mechanical juicing?
I just did this with my carrot wine. I juiced it and added the pulp to hot water, then into the must in a straining bag when cooled. Maybe freeze, juice and add pulp without cooking the rhubarb?
I am planning to do a second carrot to see if the cooking effects flavor. The next batch will be the same, without cooking.
out a 40 pound frozen pail that someone sells. Doesn’t everything start in the freezer?
