I'm looking for something to do with all of my spent grains. I've heard of people making dog biscuits out of it. Anyone have a recipe?
3 cups flour
3 cups spent grain
1 cup cornmeal
1 stick butter
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup of water with 3 buillion cubes disolved
more flour to get the right consistency
roll out and use a pizza cutter to make pieces
bake at 350 for about 45 minutes to an hour or until hard biscuit like

These turned out well because my dogs devoured them.
Just make sure you thoroughly dry them...they will mold if they have any moisture in them.

Would you eat your spent grains (other than a small amount in bread or something)? They are fiber, they will make you poo. My dog doesn't have any problems with that.
...as long as you include a beer to drink it down with (for the dog), then I have no problem...wop31 said:I agree it has no real nutritional value, but it's better then giving them crappy proccessed treats. and it makes him happy, just my opinion though. I like the idea of making treats out of the grains I think that I will give that a shot.

Spent Grain Dog Biscuits
4 cups spent grain
4 cups flour
1 cup peanut butter
1 egg
Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Press down into a dense layer on a large cookie sheet. Score almost all the way through into the shapes you want. Bake for about half an hour at 350°F to solidify them. Loosen them from the sheet, break the biscuits apart and return them, loosely spread out on the cookie sheet, to the oven at 225°F for 8 to 10 hours to dry them very thoroughly to prevent mold growth. Store in an airtight container to keep them dry and mold-free.
Pizza-n-Beer dog bones:
2 cup Wet Spent Grain
½ cup Pizza/Pasta Sauce
4 ea. Cloves of Garlic, crushed
1 ea. Egg
2 cup Any combination of whole wheat, corn, barley, soy, or regular flour
Mix into a firm dough (I had to add a bit more flour to get it firm). Roll out on a greased cookie sheet to about ¼ - ⅛" thick. Cut into wedges, or strips, or (if you're really creative) bones. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Turn off heat, and leave in the oven over night to get hard.
Enjoy,
Wild

(Psst...they don't have flat molars for crushing veggies/grains...)
