Others go into the compost, but our bin is completely enclosed and no dogs around it.I didn't quite get the decision making process. Are you punishing the hops your wife doesn't like? Pretty simple. My wife usually deals with the compost bin while I'm dealing with cleanup. So, at the point of mixing in the new compost material, she's going to be the one to smell it.Quote from: Pinski on April 07, 2015, 08:37:10 amI was wondering the same thing. Your wife can differentiate composted hops? Impressive.lol nope, but she can certainly differentiate the hop aromas she likes or doesn't like straight out of the boil.

Compost or trash. Depends on whether it is whole hops and if a lot were used. More hops increases the likelihood of the compost bin and if I use grain that also gets composted.

Yeah, spent grain here almost always gets composted. The occasions where it doesn't it either gets turned into bread or dog treats.
Ah. I don't eschew the use of malt extract.
