Wondering what to do with your spent grain? Don't throw it away! If you have dog(s), or know someone who does, use this super easy recipe to whip up a batch of dog treats. They will stand at attention waiting to get some! They are so good that I eat them too! Just make sure to the grain doesn't contain any hops or hop oils since these are toxic to dogs.

Do the spent grains need to be dried out or cooked on a sheet or anything?
