I just want it in my compost, it kicks ass in there too, along with my spent grainI would think that yeast/trub would be good for the septic system. as mention the starsan would dilute pretty much immediately to a non-effective level.

:blush:now that you mention it, yeah, but it goes in the basement laundry sink, which dumps to a drywell, not the septic tanksometimes I'm too lazy to bring it out. the spent grain def goes in though! the worms seem to love it.

I've got to many dogs running around to dump hops in a ditch. Mine go in a composter. The same composter that some bad yeast went into.Everytime I've brewed with septic my SRM's are way too high and I get this nutty off-flavor. Diacetyl maybe? :scratch:In all seriousness the only thing I am weary of dumping down the drain is excessive hop trubbage. If I am emptying a carboy that I've dry hopped in I just dump it in the ditch.

That's a good point. I don't have dogs and I live in a very rural area. No 'owned' dogs run loose out here - so no worries from neighborhood dogs. But I do have to be aware of friends with dogs are coming to visit.I've got to many dogs running around to dump hops in a ditch. Mine go in a composter.
