My spent grains bring maggots and flies, too if they are left in a pile. Spreading them around the yard (good stuff) or making dog treats works great. Nice weather break and brew day!

I used to put spent grain in our compost bin, but when it got to the point where there was more spent grain than ordinary compost, my roommate (the gardener) asked me to knock it off for a few months. So, now I dump it in the yard waste bin.

Actually, the yard waste bin is definitely way better than the compost bin, it turns out.
