Haha I never look at dates tbh
Didn't see the date. 2007! Some topics never go out of style!
In my house "recycling"=saving beer bottles for the next batch. Just doing my part for the environment.
That's 're-using', which is even better than 're-cycling'.
Jdk I'm not happy to hear that. I brewed Tuesday night and didn't finish it all up until all my motivation to clean up had left me. I cleaned most everything last night, but left the cooler MLT in the garage still with the grains in it. Sounds like I might be in for a rough afternoon cleaning that out tonight!

Jake our Boston terrier was suddenly dropping these nice fluffy poops-easy to clean up. Upon closer examination it was all barley husks!
I had a strange spent grain experience for my first all grain. I do worm composting. Worms love things like shredded paper, coconut husks, etc. in addition to non-dairy and meat food scraps. I took the grain out of my wort (brew in a bag) and let them cool. Then I spread a layer over the top of each of my worm composters. Several days later I noticed a nasty smell and when I looked in my worm bins the worms were dead or very sick. One of them i have been able to rescue by mixing it up a bit and feeding more food scraps. The other doesn't seem to be responding well and is pretty much devoid of intact worms. I think the smell is the rotting worm carcasses.
Anyone have any guesses?

passedpawn said:Add lime or dolomite. I bet you lowered the pH of your compost too low for the wigglers. Need about neutral, 7.0.
Isn't a landfill just a GIANT compost pile
I now may have to just start throwing mine in the garbage on principle
