Organic Beer Slops
Collect from 2 Castle Villas, Castle Street, Stroud, GL5 2HP. In the entrance to yard, by the bins, there is a cupboard with beer slops (No need to knock). Please bring your own container, although sometimes there are some bottles there. Pull the beer barrel slightly out of the cupboard, twist the nozzle down and open it with the lever. Once full, please twist the nozzle back up, push the barrel back in the cupboard..
- Do not try to collect beer slops directly from Brewery
- Do not drink this beer it is a waste product
- Consider a donation in the box in cupboard or online – maybe just one good one for the season?
Make a Trap
Make your own trap
Use a one or 2-litre plastic milk bottle
- Make a hole as close to the handle as possible it at least 2/3 of the way up. Making it here mean you can add the beer and still carry it in an upright position without spilling the beer
- If you have some gaffer tape put it over the cut edge, inside and out to make the edge smoother
- The cut should be as high as you can make it in the side, at least 2/3 of the way up. This stops beetles and other insects getting into the beer.
Please keep checking to make such you are only trapping slugs and snails
