I make some into cookies, and the rest goes into the compost pile right now. I might have to try that bread recipe tomorrow night...

hmm. My wife yelled at me for dumping the trub out of the kettle onto the lawn. I wonder what she would do if I threw all that grain out on it...

I bake bread with my spent grains as often as I can. No need to chop them any finer, hell even unspent, whole grains that may be leftovers from a batch can get put into the mix. They soften up while cooking.

Use bread flour when you bake, the bread will come out better in my experience. As for the amount of the flour it varies from batch to batch. I typically use 2-3 cups spent grains and ~5 cups of flour for two big loaves.

You made a bunch of dogs very happy tonight. I had to add some water to make the dough come together, but this is the best use I can think of for spent grain.

He has these cookies in his stash; Pils, Ordinary Bitter & Munich Helles.
