fermented feeds.

[bgill1215]

How does everyone store fermented feeds? In the summer i stop because i have to store the buckets on the porch. I cover in a cloth and tie a rope around so nothing can get in. But ALWAYS end up with maggots in the feed and it gets smelly. What am I doing wrong? I dont have this issue when I store in the basement.

Heat causes it to go into overdrive, so in the summer you'd either have to find somewhere to store it where it stays cooler, or ferment for a shorter period of time, like 1 day instead of 3. If it's spoiling too fast even then, you might have to just serve it wet instead of fermented in summer, if you choose to stick with that.
