Hey all. I'm sure there's been a lot of discussion about what people do with spend grains, but i'm specifically asking about composting here. After every brew I dump my spent grains in a corner of my yard in a nice big conical pile. I figured they would decay on their own and we could use it as good garden compost. Problem is, each time I dump fresh grains on the pile, it gets larger and never seems to get any smaller. I for one like the mute monument to brews past, and I like to watch the birds and squirls come to feast on it, but my SWMBO is getting mad that it's not only still there but is quite obviously growing by the month. She says I need to throw it all away in the garbage or I need to learn how to compost it correctly...
So what can I do to my grain pile to encourage it to break down and be of better use as garden compost?
