Maybe I should have saved some of that….

Post by Flustered »

I shut down a whiskey run that was low wines with a couple gallons of mash in my keg still several months ago. I don’t even remember exactly when. It was still hot outside.

I never drained the boiler.

It’s been sitting there with exposure to atmosphere through the top of the CCVM head until this morning.

I opened the 4” port and shined a flashlight in.
Half the fluid was gone and the top had a white mold that had a bumpy/bubbly look.
It smelled kinda like grape.
I drained it but had to break up the cap and dump/flush it out the 4” port.

It had the consistency of a weak rubber.

Kinda kicking myself for not saving some of that fluid now.
