I don't really dry the grain per se'. I just spread it out on some newspaper on the driveway while I'm finishing my brew session. When I'm done, I just roll it up and dump it into a bag. This is just to reduce mold until the horses finish it all off.Denny's Brew said:I have a friend with horses. Does the grain have to be dried first? Right now it's in 6 gallon buckets freezing outside.

Kai said:It's called Treberbrot in Germany. Here are some pictures http://www.pier32.de/p32/bier/treberbrot.htm
The translation of the recipe:
250g spent grain
500g wheat flour
40g fresh bakers yeast (though the author says no dry-yeast, you should
be able to use instant dry yeast)
40g slivered almonds
2 tsp salt
I haven't tried it myself but heard a lot about it. I just wonder if the husks will be soft enough. But I definitely will have to try it one day.

Kai said:Well, I did it. Last weekend was brew day (Hofbraeuhaus Berchtesgadener Hell clone) and I baked a Treberbrot (spent grain bread) from the grains I steeped for the recipe:
It came out better than expected. The husks, which I though would bother me, are barely noticeable at all. The whole bread has a very rustic taste to it. I enjoyed it with some Winter Bock home brew.
Here is the recipe:
125g spent grains
250g bread flour
155ml (=g) warm water
1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1/4 tsp salt
mix the ingredients together and kneed well for about 10min. I had it in the KitchenAid mixer for 10min at level 2.
Let rest (proof) for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 400F
Place on floured work space and flatten using our knuckles. This will even out the bubbles and remove the overly large ones. Fold over onto itself 4 times and let sit covered for 10 min.
Shape a loaf and let proof for another 30 min.
With a sharp knife, or a razor blade, cut shallow slits into the top of the loaf.
Now place in the oven. This works best on a pizza stone. While in the oven spray the sides of the oven with water every 5 min for the first 25min. This will develop steam which helps the crust formation. Bake until golden brown.
You may also want to watch the "Mr Strangeloaf" episode of Good Eats to get an introduction to the techniques used in bread baking.
This kind of bread is best enjoyed as open faced sandwiches spread with butter and topped with cold cuts (ham, cheese, hard salami, liverwust) and a brew of your choice.
Why not just mix the beer with the sausage gravy...instant breakfast!The happy mug said:If I use biscuit malt, can I put sausage gravy on top of the bread?

Yea, but now you've got the ferrets drinking your beer...how are you gonna be able to sleep?Genghis77 said:My brewing supplies are again safe from varmits.
Unfortunately ferrets can't pass gas in any direction and will explode if they get too much. So only let them learn how to operate your beer engine.Genghis77 said:They dined on the mice and I even gave them a little taste of my brew as a reward.
