I'm sure this is already a thread, but I scoured the interwebs and found nothing on this. What do people do with their used grains? I usually just compost them, but I feel like there must be something more useful to do with them. Maybe bread-making?
Any ideas?

Everything I've found uses a very small portion of the grain. The dog treat recipe posted on the site used more than most, but my dog didn't eat them. Go figure.

You can compost it, feed it to deer, work a deal with someone selling fresh eggs, chickens love the spent grain.

haha, sounds like my dogs. Picky eaters considering they roll in deer poo every morning. I'll give it a try though, maybe they'll eat them if I give them a little of the beer first...

Is there any way to make human food though, or are all of the sugars and good tastiness gone by the time I am done brewing the grain?

I would think it would be a little too fibrous with all of the husks in there as well.

I did the dog treats my chihuahuas love them. When not making it into food I compost it or feed it to the roving animals in my backyard. I Brew 3-4 6 gallon bathes a month so I have a lot of spent grain.
