Hi guys!
I live in a NYC apartment, and made my first batch of AG. (Actually It's my first brew, and I malted my own barley
Got an issue.....
How to get rid of the waste?
After Lautering, I put my mash in the trash, and it leaked.
I dug it out of the trash, and put it into two garbage bags triple bagged tied really tight. I went to bed.
THEN!!
I woke up, my trash bags are puffed up with CO2, the gosh darn mash waste has entered primary lambic fermentation. I am afraid they are going to explode.
So I just put them in the freezer, but am afraid this is only a temporary solution.
This is the dead middle of summer, so as soon as they melt, the ferment will begin again, they'll probably explode on the street before the garbage man picks them up.
Any suggestions? Should I go to the country and pitch it in the bushes, is that the only way?
Thanks!
