How Do I Dispose of Bad Lye Mix?

[brian0523]

Help!!!!

I mixed up some lye with goatsmilk, and the milk burnt. Now how do I dispose of this mess?

Is it safe to pour down the sink drain? I have PVC pipes, will it harm them?

Thanks.

I think lye is safe for all pipes. I should know this my dad is a contractor. Let me ask him

correct, lye is the same as draino or roto drain...

I usually neutralize mine with vinegar before putting it down the drain, but i think its fine raw...just like putting those mentioned above in the drain!

and in order to not burn the goatsmilk, ive heard of others using either an ice bath for the bowl your mixing it in... or nearly freezing the goatsmilk in the freezer, and using it like that (or a combo of both...)
