can I compost...

15 years ago

I didn't compost this, but maybe I could have...

The spent yeast from a home brew beer kit?

I have a Mr. Beer hard cider brewing kit. I just finished my first batch and after the bottling process, there was a bit of cider left in the bottom of the keg along with the sediment, ie, yeast. I figured that the alcohol wouldn't be good for the compost critters, but maybe I'm wrong.

So I just rinsed the keg out in the yard, but refrained from composting the yeast.

Assuming that this first batch doesn't kill me, what should I do next time?
