Other uses for sediment?

sloth · Apr 15, 2014

Hi again. First brew going ok so far, transferred to pressure barrel and waiting for it to condition. :thumb:
I noticed I have a lot of sediment in the bottom of the primary fermentation vessel after siphoning out, and I feel that there must be ways of reusing it for something. Compost heap even, if there aren't any other suggestions...

How do you use it?

If not saving for the next brew I just 'water' some plants with it.

This is a great way to re-use the trub if you don't live alone and have a cat;

*Get up each morning and empty litter tray without telling the person you live with
*after a week, tell the person you haven't changed the litter tray for a week, and ask if they've been doing it, which ofcourse they haven't.
*after another day or two, express concern and suggest taking the cat the vets
*the morning after, empty contents of FV into litter tray and leave for housemate to discover
*Sit back amused as they take Cat to the vets with a sample of your homebrew as a stool sample.

I never realised you could do this with it,as I normally wash it down the sink.
I've been putting used grain and hops on the compost heap,so now I'll be putting the trub on it :thumb:

That's excellent young man!

You turned it into hair wax!

Now, tell me, what's that stuff on your toast?
