I give it to a buddy who feeds it to his chickens and then through the miracle of spent beer grain I get eggs back.
The May/June 2011 issue of Zymurgy had a cover story on this. If you're an AHA member you can read it online - http://digital.ipcprintservices.com/publication/?i=82759 (login req'd). I've made dog treats from a different but close recipe than in that issue. My friends' dogs loved them. If you have, or know someone who has chickens, they can burn through spent grain very quickly from what I've been told.
Dog treats
Noble,
Recipe for the bread?
Big Cat,
Where in SoFLO?
Here's a great link from spent grain chef. Even one for drying to store them; http://brooklynbrewshop.com/themash/category/spentgrainchef/
I dump my grain abut 20 feet from my garage. The deer have it all cleaned up within two days. It's one of the great things about living in the country.
My wife makes me spent grain granola. And boy is it good. I have some every day for lunch. You should check it out.

Yup, mostly pizza dough. Bread sometimes and dog treats when the hops arent in there. Awesome flavor.
Do you have a recipe ?
eric19312 said:I make these at least 4 batches per month.
4 cups spent grain
2 cups flour
2 eggs
1 cup peanut butter
Mix in standing mixer,
Press into coolie sheet, flatish
Cut into squares with pizza cutter
Sheet in 250 oven 30-35 min
Take out, the treats should be able to break up now, along the previously cut lines
Back in 175 oven 2-3 hrs till nice and dry/crunchy
My dogs prefer the treats from simple grain bills without a lot of roasted malt
They also prefer the treats with about a 2 tsp granulated garlic
And they go bonkers for the treats if I add some leftover bacon grease and maybe even 3-4 strips cooked bacon , crumbled
