yeast cake?

ok.... Roto rooter came & fixed it. All is good! It was already getting plugged & this was just a coincidence. WHEW! Now the wife can't blame me! LOL

I don't have a clue how this could be an issue.

yeast needs sugar to replicate, unless you are pouring sugar rich waste down your drain, sans water, and letting it sit there for a week, you should be fine.

If you aren't rinsing it out regularly... do so.

In any case, there should not be enough biomass available to clog your drain, and yeast cakes are generally pretty soft to begin with.

I'm baffled.

put it in a sanitized mason jar, and same for self a few bucks plus make more consistant beers! i should say or so i have been told, i will be keeping future cakes, when i get a small fridge for beer!

as for pooring it down the drain? i haven't had a problem with it yet!

I take it a person shouldn't dispose of the yeastcake down the drain? I have made 3 batches & every cake has went down the garbage disposal. Now I notice my drains backing up & yeast coming out. I got Roto Rooter coming tomorrow.... Another lesson learned.
