What to do with all that spent grain

I was brewing one day and had spilled some of the crushed grains on the
floor. It really was just some of the powdered bits that kind of get
everyone, but I noticed that my dog was licking the floor where it spilled.
She had always sniffed around the grains before, but I thought that was
just because she sniffs everything. Now I noticed she seemed to really
love the taste. I was not too concerned since it is just malted barley,
but it got me thinking. If she liked that so much what else could you do
with the grains. Of course other people are smarter than me and had
already figured that out.

A quick internet search turned up lots of recipes for spent grains. It is
something great to use, they are just grains that have soaked and had some
sugars removed through the mash process. I know that some big breweries
ship the grain out for cattle feed. We found one recipe for dog treats and
decided to try that. My dog loved them! So ever since then with every
brewing, I have saved a few cups of the spent grains and made dog treats.
(I have also made granola, flour, and breads.) I have played around with
the recipe and made it into one that the dog and I really like. It is easy
and bakes up nicely.

My kids thought I should try selling them, so I have added them to the shop
page on the website. Who knows, maybe they will catch on and be a hit.
