Fresh from today's beer brewing session, I have 1400g of spent grain looking for a purpose beyond my compost bin.
For those unfamiliar: this is grain that's already given its sugars to become beer, but apparently it still has other talents. I just can't be bothered to explore them.
Things the internet claims you can do with this:
- Bake it into "healthy" bread (if you're into that sort of masochism)
- Dry it out and make flour (see above re: effort levels)
- Feed it to chickens (they allegedly love it)
- Make dog treats (your dog's opinion may vary)
- Add it to granola bars for "extra fiber" (sure, why not)
- Compost it (my current plan if nobody wants it)
What I know for certain:
- It's wet
- It smells like a brewery
- It needs collecting today or tomorrow before it gets weird (I'll fridge it to try to prevent that)
Free to anyone with more ambition than me, chickens, or a solid recipe they're willing to test. Must collect ASAP - this stuff doesn't age gracefully.
