Sorry I originally posted this under Fertilizing & Watering
I'm on my 2nd 30 gal.barrel of T. I used same stuff as 1st, but put Garden Dirt/Compost Bin Dirt/ & green leafy substance in panty-hose(bag) to avoid straing.4C.alfafa
3C molasses, old H20 Melon & tomatoes.
Foam i got not as thick as 1st batch w/everything loose.
It's been 4-5 days stirring in brown sugar to reactivate.
the foam all but disappeared.
Lt.brown color, smells ok.
Could bagging materials hurt brewing??
Too tight??

On Cleaning
I read some of the E-coli Messages. Yikes!!
I had cleaned the barrel w/bleach and rinsed well.
I only rinsed the tubing & the 2x 12" fish tank bubblers.
Could I have contaminated something.

Any feedback on ingredients:
Karo Corn Syrup, Apple Cider Vinegar, Epsom Salt??
thanks
