Spent Grain Thread

[Jeff...]

So once the mash is done, what do you do with the grains?

I carry the mashtun out to the chicken yard and dump it. My Chickens Love Me.

Made bread out of mine. The rest gets composted.

I also donate my spent grain to the dozen chickens next door.
They come running before I'm even close to the property line

Cheers!

I never really thought about it but I guess mine get composted also. Woohoo chicken poo

I dump mine in the garden area. The deer come and eat it in the winter but pretty much ignore it this time of year. Guess they prefer fresh green grass.

If you really want to bring the deer in, sow a turnip patch feed plot in late summer. It's like a dinner bell and they can't resist working on trying to scratch up the turnips out of the ground.
