Keeping your sack clean

[Bribie G]

Do your balls hang low
Can you swing them to and fro
Can you tie them in a knot
Can you tie them in a bow
Can you hang them over your shoulder
Like a Continental Soldier
Do your balls hang low

Hang on sorry wrong thread, talking about tennis balls here of course.

When I was washing my sack....

Whole other thread right there.
Again, one I'm surprised Cocko hasn't gotten on to.

It's nice to know that we have a lot of clean sacks in this country, hope its not another thing we sell to the Chinese. My sacks are staying with me.

No worries. The wort is going to boil anyway, and unless you store the bags damp, any organic matter left in the cloth won't culture a mass of bacteria.

I rinse them well, dry well on the line, shake and brush. Sometimes to keep color from building up I then soak the bag in sodium percarbonate solution, re-rinse and dry on the line again.

Happy safe sacks.

Do people find the dumped grain in the garden ends up selling really bad after a couple of days?
A couple of brews ago I just dumped it on top of the garden, but by the next weekend the smell was really bad so now it just goes in the green waste so I don't have to smell it.

I have noticed fruit flies congregating around mine, which is fine, but I found that the grain mixed into my soil attracted possums and scrub turkeys. Very annoying to come home and find the entire vegie garden dug up. We now have a fence and 95% of spent grain not used for cooking generally goes in the bin as I don't know anyone with pigs or chooks.

Back when I was with my ex, we used to use the spent grain to make dog biscuits.

Lucky dog. We use it to make anzac-like biscuits. Also as a 'specialty' addition to breads and other random baked goods.
