So last weekend I brewed my second batch of pumpkin ale as I had a few hiccups on the first one. I've started using a home built mash tun for AG. I was in a bit of a rush as I had a "honey do" list the rest of the weekend and wanted to get the brew done ASAP. It was probably 1 or 2 am before I was able to transfer to my carboy and pitch. I did not clean up like I normally do after a brew.
This is the lesson to be taught to ALL first time all grainers.. CLEAN THE MASH TUN...do NOT let is SIT for 24+hours before cleaning. I am now quite confident I know what Satan's rectum smells like after eating left overs from the Waffle House at 3am. Hands down the most putrid odor I've experienced to date. It was so bad the guy who picked up my garbage every week probably had a bad day afterwards.
So don't leave wet grains in a mash tun over night. Clean that sh*t!!
