first all grain... at leat my carpet smells nice!

[WholeHoppness]

I did alot of research before I took this journey into all grain. Figured out temps, mash times, I even double batch sparged. Everything was perfect.. till the clean up. I had all of the wet grains in the cooler on the back porch and I didn't want to throw them in the yard because I'd probably get a bird frenzy with a nice poop mess all over the place from them. I put the grains in a bucket with a hande and carried them to the garage through the house. Well, the handle gave out, of course, I still have a nice sticky wet grain mess all over the living room carpet. Is everybody's first all grain this much fun? :cross:

hopefully you dont have a swmbo or I feel an imminent death in your future

I feel for you. Had the exact same thing happen to me. I thought garbage bag would hold grains. Verdict: not so much.

Current method garbage bag in bucket. Grains in bag. Bag sealed. Then carry out to dumpster.

will it come out? I wasn't a dark beer.

SWMBO has her own place.

I've done all of the above. Steam cleaning seemed to get it out of mine - but I wouldn't know because the carpet was so dark. As long as it wasn't sticky anymore, and the bugs weren't coming in I figured it worked.

Oxy-clean will get it out. Good luck.

Did the same thing on my deck one time. Not nearly as bad as a carpet but it still sucked. Have fun!!!!
