Why compost tea sucks...

[OrganicOzarks]

Because it is 40 degrees outside, and my hands are frozen from cleaning two brewers.

Other than that, it is the best creation since the female was thunk up.

Brew those teas motherfuckers. Frostbite is a casualty of war.

Is that what I would search for to find them? Because as winter gets colder I have to do something. When its 17, and you are cleaning brewers it makes you rethink compost tea for a second.

Maybe a millasecond.

I don't have the ability to plumb a hot water line for outside. Or should I say I don't have a way to do it so that the line was hidden. I would have to bust out sheetrock to do that. Then resheet rock.

They are a nifty little invention though. I didn't even have to google it.

haha just messin man, what about putting a tee into the cold water line inside somewhere and running hot and cold thru the same bib?

 

[trichrider]

try neoprene gloves for fishing extremes, what a difference.

Would it be possible to plumb a point of use tankless heater, electric? Otherwise, yeah, gloves.

Just curious how much longer it takes to brew a tea at 40F?

I brew them inside in ambiant 72ish degrees. I just don't have a place inside to clean them.

After your post that is what I started to think about. Would have been much easier to do when there was no sheetrock up 2 years ago.

Would be awesome to put in a couple of valves to adjust the heat on the water on my outdoor spigot.

There may be some sheetrocking in my future.

Lol thats why god gave us 10 fingers, incase we leave the gloves in the house, and were all stoners here so u know not a single one of us goin back in.. It is work after all and who enjoys that part of the day lol... But yes as someone above said the fishing gloves are a must if ur workin in 17 degree weather.....get a pair and keep them with ur cleaning pail so what i mentioned about forgeting them dosnt happen...

How big are your brewers? You don't have to clean them perfectly every time. We use a large plastic bin to rinse off the parts then you can either dump/pump the water out or use it for watering.

 

[OrganicOzarks]

These are just 5 gallon brewers. I clean them with hydrogen peroxide each time I use them. I make sure to hose them off real well to clean the peroxide off. My actual brewer can be washed in the dish washer. However the containers that they go in have to be cleaned outside. I also use a 30 gallon brewer, but in the winter I try to brew multiple small brews. It seems easier to clean smaller ones than a big one.

I could however be completely retarded.

maybe on some different planet of totally only rocketscientist population.

does your kitchen faucet have male threads where a hose could be added?

Since I moved from a air stones to a airlift brewer, I just throw the airlift and bucket in my bathtub rinse with warm water and wallah... I use the peroxide every month or so. Seems to be on track (I don't have a scope to confirm)
