I make bread with it. Two cups of grain, two cups of bread flour, some olive oil, salt, a cup of water and yeast. It's rustic and very tasty.

I'd give pizza a shot with that same dough, but I think it might make a crust that's too sweet.

I know southern star sells/gives theirs to a guy who raises rodeo bulls.

I save a few cups from most batches and make bread and pizza dough with it. I keep it in the freezer until I am ready to bake, then use ~2 cups/loaf or /2 pizzas.

I feed mine to our chickens but wife wants to use some for bread as well. Many commercial breweries send spent grain to local farmers for cattle/cow feed or pigs.

Many commercial breweries sell or give it to local farmers for livestock. I think New Belgium uses it in their methane recapture facility but I might be wrong.

I make bread with my spent grains. I always keep the grains on batches with a lot of specialty grains. If I have a lot of spent grains stored in the freezer I toss out the grain from batches where it's all base grain. I have limited room for storage. I have an animal hospital with horses and cows behind me. I guess I should ask them if they would like the grains instead of tossing it out.

After looking it up, I think my next batch I will be making some pizza dough with it, looks really interesting.

I mean there's not much left to the grain, we take all the starch and turn it to sugar and only leave 25% sugar on the grain, I just throw it away, u ever taste the spent grain? Its got no flavor left and isn't really worth the trouble of doing anything other than throwing it away, and it can spoil very fast

You have clearly never eaten anything made with spent grain.
