I LOVE the spent grain bread recipe posted on here (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f56/spent-grain-bread-machine-recipe-85379/). When it turns out right, and even when it doesn't, it completely replaces store bought bread in my house. The first time I made this was last summer it turned out great.
My last two batches have started collapsing leaving a half loaf of dense, yet still fantastic bread. I have read the machine book and none of the answers provided fixed the issue.
Common sense tells me it is something with the yeast. Since I have seen through the window that the bread infact rises properly I suspect the yeast is doing its job TOO well. I just don't know how to fix it since bread machines have some nuances in order of ingredients.
Next loaf I am going to cut back on the amount of yeast but figured I would ask for help from those with experience in the meantime!
PS: here is a pic of my sammich for lunch today made from the collapsed loaf...still amazing bread!
