Spent grain

This is my attempt at the loaf that Bread1965 was trying to recreate quite a while ago. I was able to get my hands on the real version of this bread and it is delicious!

Beer & Pizza are the ultimate combo. After you make beer, there is a lot of grain left over. I mean, A LOT. Why throw it away? If you have critters, you can feed it to them. You can also eat it…

Spent grain is a normal by-product of producing beer and constitutes a large portion of waste created by breweries. As a leader in sustainability in the beer industry, instead of disposing of it, Woodstock Inn Brewery is committed to reusing ALL of it. “100% of the spent grain gets re-used. Our in-house baker takes 5-10 gallons worth every week, some goes to Beveridge Craft Beer & Soap Company to make our beer soap & lotion and a local farmer drops a trailer off each week that we fill up…
