Waste Grist

[rimski]

What do people do with there waste Mash, I am an allotment holder so don't see any issue with using it as a mulch for the vegetables especially the Pumpkins/Squashs they may even end up with a slightly beer like flavour

I Freecycle mine

[Manx Guy]

Cattle/horse feed?



Leave it out for the birds ??

BA - Do people really come and collect it from freecycle? What do they do with it(if not one of the above?)

It composts well, you can give it to someone with chickens/pigs or you can just spread it on the garden. I've never done the latter but I would expect it to be a real slug magnet.

Yes, check the link in my post.

As it happens, I've got someone coming round today, to collect yesterday's spent grain.

[Aleman]

It can get pretty wiffy if you spread it on the garden too thickly . . . but spread out well and worked in to the surface of the soil and watered in it is much less so. . . . Not really noticed massive amounts of slugs on it though. . . . Or I also take ours up to the stable, depending on when I brew

Mine gets collected next day from a smallholder in the village who feeds her hens/composts it.

When I advertised it on freecycle, I got loads of offers of people willing to collect it from me actually.

[Capped]

All mine goes to the guy 3 doors away,who then gives it to his hens. Apparently they go mental for it. I get eggs in return . Guy across the road keeps racing pigeons so I offered him some,but I saw him a few days later and he said they wouldn't touch it. Hens-1,Pigeons-0.

[WishboneBrewery]

I'm obviously doing something wrong, our neighbour must be a tight arse... I've fed his hens and given him beers to try...
Still NO eggs!!!

Might have to Freecycle it for a bit of payback!

[rimski]

Think I might Freecycle my next batch.

How do you advertise it on freecycle.

"Spent crushed barley going spare" ???

[raiderman]

it makes great compost, I'd worry about rats using it as mulch

[Subsonic]

Rats do love it, it attracts them like magnets. But then they are good target practice after so thats a benefit in my book. I feed mine to my hens. The other day I put out half a 7kg batch (must have weighed 7kg with water absorption) and 6 hens scoffed the lot! Subsonic.

[bellebouche]

I turn mine into Sunday lunch.



Spent grains are a fave treat that's readily gobbled up by chickes and turned into a premium roast in just a few short months

The other option is that he does not like your beer.

Here's mine. Had alot of responses. Get 6 free range eggs each brewday. In fact my egg-lady is coming round today.
You need to register with freecycle first.
