PSA: When you last brewed 4 months ago...

...and you put the lid and stopper back on the bucket full of used yeast cake, set it aside in the garage and forgot about it, DO NOT take the bucket into the house and remove the lid for cleaning. The wife gets real pissed.:cross:

Remember that "now it smells like fish and roses!" air freshener commercial? This is worse. Much worse.

On the positive side, now you know (if you didn't already) what autolysis smells like.

And your wife does too.

And if you are cleaning it outside, keep all windows and doors on that side of the house closed. Even if you live alone.

I'm not sure I can salvage the bucket. I soaked it over night in OxyClean and it still stinks.

The house still stinks.

"Do you smell that?
It's autolysis, son.
I love the smell of autolysis in the morning".
