We will have a compost pile in a week or two, will definably, do that, thanks for the recipe links for the treats and the bread, will defiantly do that, I just don't want to waste if I don't have too, maybe I will post something on craigslist or something, brewing one to two batches a week, it adds up.

I would refridgerate it if you were going to use it a couple of days or freeze it for longer storage.
Good luck! :jnj

Thank you, I wonder if it can be used for chicken feed, I know a couple of farms out here.

It would likely make excellent chicken feed, although the farmer may want to slowly work it into their diet instead of putting a whole bunch out at once.

Chicken feed. My hens love it. They get all giddy when I walk into the pen with a big load of spent grain. They'll also drink any excess wort you may have (ie, liquid at the bottom of the mash tun).

Feed it to the wildlife that lives on the mountain behind my house or depending on the amount take it to a farmer I know and givenit to the cows.
