spencerwood Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hi, Would anyone advise feeding the spent grain from home beer brewing to chickens? It seems a bit of a waste just to chuck it away. I know most of the sugars will have come out for the brew but there must be some goodness left it. Had anyone tried it? Spencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Never tired it but may be good for your compost heap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I've no idea but I know that tey said some of the by-products from the Talisker whiskey distillery on the Isle of Skye feeds the livestock on the island, just not sure what it was.

Daphne Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I asked this question somewhere and was told it was bad for chooks but I can't remember why. Ours now gets chucked on the compost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
