Going to try and make some burger buns from the spent grain chef this week http://brooklynbrewshop.com/themash/rec ... rger-buns/ will post a pic if they actually turn out as prescribed.
Cannot wait to see more results from that!

Perhaps we are missing a trick here, a business in spent grain flower / baked goods, the JBK dragons den application? ;)

Managed to sort these out now we have a longer gap between the evenings world cup matches.

Still cooling down so will be a wait before sampling can decide if they're nice.

They look pretty spot-on to me! they would go nicely with a good home made burger on the BBQ, and of course a good home brew in the hand! :=P

My warren Hybrids are amazing egg machines almost an egg a day all year round . I am very sparing with how much spent grain they get as grain is not high enough in protein for this level of production . The traditional breeds are not so prolific so may be able to take more without laying off their backs . Traditionally, cattle are more suited to spent grains. just my thoughts .

Not really sure how this came to mind (Possibly the thousand birds that pick up after the kids at school), but what about birds?

I know it's the wrong time of year for all of this but it occurred to me that it might be a great way to feed the birds in winter, I'm guessing you could just whack it straight onto a bird feeder, or maybe even go a bit further and add some fat to it to make fat balls for them?

Just a thought.

They look very happy with the spoils of your ale, what manner of creature are they?

They look like they are going to kill you. Almost something out of some sort of horror movie.

Well, that's it, no more grain to the forest, in fact, I won't be going to the woods at all in the near future. These trail camera photos are about 20 meters from my back door, taken yesterday morning:
