What do you do with the spent grains?.. I was thinking of giving it to my dogs, mixing it in with their regular food..
Any reason why I shouldn't?

My dogs freak out for em.
How do you make the dog treats?
Not sure, but I'd think that since these are spent grains that they have few carbs left. Basically just roughage that'll make'em poop.nothing wrong with it...just use sparingly, as in a small treat once or twice a day.
...and if they get too much they store the excess carbohydrates as fatty deposits in their liver and other tissues....
I bet! What kind of ratio PB/grain?

OK, admittedly I did not read all the threads that went all over the landscape regarding feeding spent grains to pets. But seriously is not the holy fungus boiled out of this stuff and we could say it's nutritional value is about zero, and such spent grains would be turned away on all shores of the African Continent?
Well maybe not. My chickens will not eat it. I have a dog that eats gravel that will not eat it. We tried to make bread out of it, and it was truly disgusting. My neighbor has goats and they WILL eat the spent grain. They also ate the red paint off a shed he built, so they are not too picky.
Honestly I am all for recycling and conservation but by the time I get my brewing out of the grains I buy, they are shot. They are sawdust for all practical purposes. I guess I could drip some chicken broth on the crap and maybe one of them (dogs) would consume it.
What makes anyone think there is nutritional value to poultry or beef or whatever in these waste grains? THERE IS NONE! Seriously. Do your homework! I'll drink my strong Belgium Ale with a bloody red steak and enjoy the **** out of both, you hypocrites.
