Making dog treats, have a question.

[kevinlassen]

After making my ipa's I use the spent grains for dog treats for, Daisy Mae.

I'm making a porter and it had cocoa nibs in it. I want to know if that is okay to do. I know dogs can't eat chocolate so I'm kinda leery of it.

Thanks y'all.

And no, hops don't touch the grains.

You had cocoa nibs in the mash? If so, I wouldn't use those grains for dog treats. Normally, cocoa nibs go in the secondary, and not the mash. I've never heard of cocoa in the mash.

How are you making the dog treats? I'm interested in it as I have a dog and normally just throw the gains away?

My dog LOVES these. It is his all-time favorite treat. I think it's the combination of peanut butter and grains that drive him crazy.

I need to make some more. I bought new dogbone-shaped cookie cutters that I haven't tried yet.

I sprinkle some Parmesan cheese in mine to give them some funk. Dogs like funk I think.

Maybe I'm wrong. I was just assuming they are in there

This is what I use

 

[Hello]

I wouldn't use grains with coco nibs. That could make your dog very sick, or worse.

I just messaged my brew shop. Waiting to hear back. They are closed today so I might be waiting till tomorrow.

Confirmed, no cocoa! Proceeding to brewing and treat making.
