This adds a bit of fiber to the bread, and a bit of color. I really like it. I also portion out 1/3c blobs into ziplocks and freeze them seperately so I can easily bake with them later. * Dogs like biscuits made with grains.

Also makes good fertilizer...<br><b>References : </b><br> Mix it in with birdseed or feed for squirrels, etc. I can’t imagine spent grain from homebrew is enough for livestock feed… unless you are brewing MASSIVE batches.

Got any cattle nearby? They love the spent grains from brewing. It is both tasting & nutritious (everything is not gone) for them. Be sure not to allow for more than say a large coffee can full per day as the excess can cause them to founder. You can use the spent grains & trub for a garden mulch. Hey guys, I have a question that is getting lonley. How about your point of view on the topic? Thanks<br><b>References : </b><br> Swampy, O love the pic/avatar.
