Discarded Grains

Postby pulsetech » Mon Jun 30, 2014 6:28 pm

What do you do with your Discarded Grains ?
I have been making a bunch of BWKO and each gen I am pulling 2 litres of grains out (per 30L so x 2)
been chucking them in to the compost bin but I think the Worms might be not liking
the Alcohol that's still on the grain.

About to kick off on my All Grain adventure so there will be plenty of Used Grain Kicking around
what is everyone doing with it.

The Dog tried eating it but he didn't like it.

I just throw my grains in the chicken coop and assume that they are eaten. One way or the other they become extra content in the compost when I dig it up to plant my vegetable garden.

I think I read somewhere about making biscuits out of spent grain, but that probably meant after one use.
