Hey Ted
Great piece. I've started freezing my spent grain and using it in my baking, for bread, pizza dough, bagels, whatever. I end up with around 8 cups of grain after a 5 gallon batch of beer and I've had success using about a cup per batch of bread. Going to keep increasing the grain to flour ratio until I find the optimum point.

Also, as far as worms go, I've had success feeding my worms spent grain in the past, but I'm going to try using the spent hops. Not sure how that's going to work, but we'll see. Hoping to use that worm poop in the spring when I start growing my own hops.

Thanks!

I visited your site today and think we both could really benefit from exchanging links to each other. We could either do a reciprocal link or a three way link trade which would be most beneficial to both of us as it is a one way link to each other. Our site is www.mustlovebeer.com.

With the three way link trade we would add a blog post on www.food-and-beverage.net that linked to your main page and 2 sub pages via keyword. In return you would link back to mustlovebeer.com. The advantage to this is that you get 3 links back from food-and-beverage.net in return for linking to mustlovebeer.com.

If you are interested in swapping links please let us know, email us at linkbuilder@twobudz.com

Thanks for your time.

Great post Ted. We are going to start composting spent grains and hops this summer. Good topic on Earth day.

I just want to say that people shouldn't be scared away from composting if they're not into worms. Chicago has an ordinance that says compost must be fully covered by a container (no food for rats), so we have one of those in our back yard. It's a sort of black garbage can with a removable top. Dumping spent grains into it is a great way to speed up the composting process for everything else that goes in (veggie scraps, egg shells, coffee grounds, etc.).
