We've been doing all grain for a few weeks now (yaaayyy!) and we're running into a welcomed issue.. SO MUCH spent grain!

SO! My question is...

What do you do with your spent grain?? Recipes welcome

I'm looking more for recipes that I can use with dried, ground grain (through the coffee grinder), however I'm very open to wet recipes too!! Let me know what you come up with!

Drink irresponsibly,

Jenna

My way
1 package of yeast
3/4 cup water
1 cup wet spent grain (warm ok, but not hot) right out of the tun
1.5 flour
Mix it well cover and leave overnight.
then add;
1 cup water, using 3/4 cup water and 1/4 cup milk give it more sponge like bread
2tsp salt
2tbsp honey, or 4tbsp dme
4 cups flour
mix, knead till it feels bouncy
put in greased bowl cover let rise till doubled
punch down, knead and form loaves, I put on tiles dusted with corn meal, and cover with greased plastic
after an hour to raise bake at 450 for 12-15 min, or 6min in stone oven
brush with butter 7 min for a softer crust or spray with water for a harder crust

I also grow mushrooms with it

We compost our spent grains, using them to make beautiful and nutrient-rich soil for our plants and gardens.

I make dog treats with mine....

4 cups of spent grains
2 cups of flour
1 cup of peanut butter
2 eggs

Mix everything together thoroughly and press down into a dense layer on a large cookie sheet (protip: use parchment paper...)
Score into squares or use a cookie cutter if you like fun shapes
Bake for 30 mins at 350 F to solidify
Remove from the cookie sheet and break apart into the shapes you cut out
Return to the oven and turn it down to 225 F and continue baking for 3-4 hours... or until they're really dry. You want them dry to prevent mold growth.
Store dry in an airtight container or ziplock bag.

They keep forever, I've made some in March that are still good. My golden retriever loves them

I have a yard waste bin that I use. The garbage collector comes once a week and picks it up. They have a hydraulic hoist that picks it up and it gets recycled by them. One or four cups of grain in a recipe wouldn't make a dent in a 30 lb grain bill.

Normally I compost the grains, but it can accumulate quickly. I've also made bread, which while it tasted good, I could never get over the sharp edges from the husks. If you are able to mill or grind them, they would definitely be excellent in bread. The last thing I've done is make dog biscuits out of them. phidelt1499's recipe is from the latest issue of BYO (at least that's where I got it). I made a double batch (makes about 100 medium-sized), but still had lots of grain left over. Dogs love it, and it really doesn't taste too bad....perhaps a touch of honey and they'd make a good people snack

I let the deer eat it. Or just pitch it.

I've made the bread. I dislike the husks in my teeth.

I've made the dog treats. I dislike dog farts.

I give my spent grains to a neighbor who has chickens and turkeys. He gives me fresh eggs in return. I'm bartering with spent grain, NOT with homebrew!

Good one, thanks, it really made me laugh. For a second I thought of making dog treats and then you reminded me of what my dog can do when he gets the "right diet".
