BTBC Spent Grain Honey Wheat Bread

ala Bread Machine

Recipe for a large loaf:

1 1/8 cups water
2 1/2 cups white bread flour
1/2 cups wheat bread flour
1 1/2 Tbsp. dry milk
1 1/2 Tbsp. honey
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. butter
2 tsp. fast rise yeast OR 3 tsp. active dry yeast
1 cup (or more, depends on you!) spent grains

Add all ingredients in the order above ( if your grains are particularly wet, you may need to add more wheat/white flour)

My bread machine has a large dark loaf setting, use something similar.

Turned out really nice, grains were delicious!
Enjoy with a beer (this bread was made from my red river ale recipe) or beverage of your choice!

Thanks for the recipe.

Looks like I'll have to borrow my parents bread machine to try this over the weekend.

Looks/sounds very tasty! Bread & beer, the base upon which all civilization is built. Thanks for the recipe. Regards, GF.

 

[jmulligan]

Your bread looks really tasty, thanks for the recipe! I am making a stout this weekend, maybe I will replace the honey with a little molasses and the wheat with rye flour and see what I get.

 

[EdWort]

Plenty of fiber. Keeps ya regular!!

That sounds great, let me know!

 

[Bill1968]

I made 2 loafs this week end. It turned out great. Thanks for the info.

 

[scinerd3000]

looks great. Why the dry milk? Im no pro at making bread yet but all ive added was honey to mine. I have been contemplating using some pale ale(a few bottles didint carb) along with some water instead of all H20. Think it would work out?

 

[aekdbbop]

I dunno, im sure it would be fine, just make sure that the beer is left out and uncarbonated.

The dry milk was in the recipe i based this off of.. beats me.

 

[PseudoChef]

Milk will make the bread softer than water alone.

 

[Ice9]

You can also use coffee creamer as a substitute for the dry milk.

 

[Brewsmith]

Milk powder will add protein without additional water.

 

[greencon]

I think I will try this out on Saturday. Thanks.

 

[scinerd3000]

i was bored so i brewed Biermunchers belgian wit and used the grain and some of the pale ale to make the treberbrot. Turned out pretty well although i like it better with just plain water. Next time millk it is

 

[BlindLemonLars]

I gave this a try today, while boiling my ESB. I just used my normal wheat bread recipe, but replaced a cup of flour with 1.5 cups of spent grain. Damn, this stuff is great! I was afraid the fiber content would be over the top, but it's not at all. This is going to become a regular part of my brew-day routine. The machine makes it so easy, it would be foolish not to!

 

[aekdbbop]

Awesome.. looks great!

 

[thePudwhack]

Hey, nice loaf. I brewed a batch of ESB this weekend too, and I saved some of the grains. Hopefully, it will be fine in the fridge until I stop at Publix tomorrow.

My favorite ESB is by Redhook, hands down. What's yours?

I was wondering the same, about keeping the spent grain around to bake with. Next brewday, I may try freezing a few cups. Or I've got two bread machines, maybe I'll just run them both and freeze one loaf.

I'm a big fan of Fuller's ESB, my "Cold Shot" recipe started life as an extract Redhook clone, but little by little I've steered it towards a more British style. I brewed it Sunday, but switched it up a little by adding some honey malt and CaraPils, and replacing the final aroma hop with EKG.

 

[juvinious]

I usually freeze a couple of cups of spent grain to have on hand when I put together some bread, though I don't use a machine. I then take the container and nuke it for a minute and scrap semi defrosted grain into the mix and 3-4 hours later I have some bread delightfulness.

I haven't tried the Fuller's yet, a few may come home with me on my next trip to Total Wine. I didn't use Morris Otter in this batch, but I did pitch S-04, the English stuff. A few people said this will give it some fruity notes. I would like to do another batch with the American strain and compare.

Are you just experimenting with the Honey/Car-Pills? Would this lend more body, maltiness ? I'm still new to AG and would love to know what this would do.

 

[BlindLemonLars]

Cara-Pils adds body and increases head retention, I've used it a lot with good results. It was an afterthought, as I had 1/4lb in my cupboard. The honey malt was more experimental, it should contribute a touch of malty sweetness.

I like to walk through my LHBS and smell/taste the various grains...you can really get a good idea of what they will taste like in your brew.

 

[aekdbbop]

I had only saved about 5 cups worth, and put it in the fridge for a week wet.. they were fine for that long.. next batch i will freeze most of it. I will be sure to save a lot more than last time..

Good to know, thanks. At the moment, the worms in my compost heap get to eat most of my spent grain, lucky buggers. Not as dramatic as EdWort's deer, I know...

 

[thePudwhack]

The last time I picked up an extract kit at the LHBS, they opened a few bins and let me taste some of the barley. It was pretty cool.

I'm making a batch of bread tonight (first time with a machine). The grains still have the same consistency as Sunday, but I'll freeze what's left after another batch.

 

[Jonnio]

How long do you guys think the grain will stay good for in the fridge? I brewed Friday night and put aside 1 1/2 cups of grain to hopefully make this bread tonight...still ok?

NEVERMIND - I apparently can't read

 

[bubbachunk]

I plan on saving grains and doing this next time

 

[northernlad]

A couple weeks ago I made a Porter Wheat. I realized that I should have used some of the runnings for the moisture so today I made an IPA Honey Wheat with 1cup (this just seems the right amount) of spent grain and 11oz runings added to a base recipe similar to the OP.
I stopped baking in my bread machine a couple months after I bought it because I hated the way it came out especially since it would always overproof wheat bread and it would fall.
I have since lost the paddle to the machine so I make it all by hand. It takes far less time than it did when I kneaded and proofed in the machine.

Gonna try this today, what about the dregs of a bottle of hefe instead of dry bread yeast? I don't want to mess it up but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Any yeast would work I suppose but my hefes tend to have a lot more yeast in the bottom.

bread and beer yeast are quite a bit different - I don't think the dregs of a bottle would have the effect you need for proper raising of a loaf.

Hey guys, I have since changed the recipe I use for making spent grain bread in the bread machine.. so I made a quick vid. Thanks!
