Beginner making apple wine

[Perhizzle]

Doing our first attempt at apple wine ever with 2 large boxes of apples we got from a local grower. Unfortunately we waited a little longer than wanted to start juicing the apples. We don't have a press so I used my masticating juicer which normally is pulp free but the apples are super soft. Long story short, will we be fine fermenting the wine in a bag since removing all the pulp is almost impossible at this point in time?

Need a recommendation on the best way to get this started.

Can you filter it through cheesecloth?

I press my cider in a perforated 5-gallon bucket lined with a mesh grain bag and it works great. You may be able to do something similar.

Would pectic enzyme help any?

We ended up trying out a strainer bag and just squeezing it really hard... It worked great. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Adding yeast tonight to begin fermentation. Hoping we have a good wine by Christmas.

Yeah we used a strainer bag, put all the "mash" in the bag and squeezed real hard, most of the juice came out.
