Animal party!
Finished a ninth generation UJSSM run last week and shut it down to do a AG request (a friend bought a 5.2 gal. barrel and wants me to fill it). I ferment in six 7-1/2 gallon containers so that if I get a stall or infection I won't lose it all, then do three 12 gallon strip runs and a 12 gallon spirit run. Since I'm on city water and sewer I usually dump the spent corn down the toilet on each generation, but now I've got about 150 lbs. of wet fermented corn, yeast, etc.. Friday I fill three buckets and take it to my daughter's, who lives a few miles away but rural. She has a small unfenced compost pile where she puts food scraps and I dump the whole mess on top. You could smell it down wind a half mile! Saturday, I swing by her place and it's ALL gone. Even the dirt beneath has been dug through. Not one kernel of corn to be found. Only tracks I can find are raccoon; no deer. I know the damage raccoons can do to a sweet corn patch, but damn! 150 lbs. of fermented corn in one night? And there had to have been some alcohol in there. Must have been a hell of a party. I am going to do it again and this time put a motion activated camera out there. If I get video I'll try to post.
You can judge a great whiskey with one sip, but it's best to be thorough.

Like me, she can't believe it could even happen. I mean, even at 3 or 4 lbs. per raccoon, that a lot of raccoons!

Re: Animal party!
Found that my one dog likes the corn pile. He eats like a goat as it is, so I have to chase him away.
Don't need a drunken dog running zoomies through the house.

Pigs have good noses and can smell rotten corn from miles away. I'd be waitin' for bacon.
Re: Animal party!
Mmmm...bacon.

little guys probably won't eat for a week or two and run from anything smelling of booze anymore.

Re: Animal party!
They are hooked like someone on drugs! If supplied, they will be back. If there are that many coons round there, can I come up a couple weeks before Christmas and make some Christmas dinners special for a lot of folks around me?
