I've been just been just spreading my used grain out in the yard instead of filling up my trash can with it. Anyone see problems with doing this?

Just make sure you spread it thin. If you leave a pile that's large enough to hold moisture it will begin to decompose and it smells like a dead body.
Might attract some lovely birds who will eat it...or rats.
wow, glad i found this thread. I did my first AG brew last weekend. My brewing helper asked, "where should I dump these spent grains?" I told him in the composter (meaning in the green bin that gets collected by the garbage men every week). He said 'I don't see a composter' as he dumped 15 lbs of it in the garden. My tenant that that tends to the gardens asked me what the heck it is. I guess I'll have to remove it before the smell arrives.
No,, no it will not. I have big Chicago rats and nothing eats the spent grain.
