Dog Food?

After every brew we have a considerable amount of spent grains (think coffee grounds).  The grains are heavy, hot and ideally stripped of most of their goodness.  What we typically do is give the grain a few days to dry out, then compost it all.

There are plenty of other things to do with the spent grains, so we're trying dog biscuits to be judged by the neighbor's dog.

Recipe:
4 cups: Spent grains.
4 cups: Flour
1 cup: Peanutbutter
1 egg

Oven preheated to 350 degrees.

All of this is combined (hands work best) and rolled out on a cookie sheet.  Shapes pressed into the 'dough' but not all the way through.  30 minutes at 350, take it out and let it cool.  The hardened crust will allow you to break off the shapes.  Place the shaped biscuits back into the oven at 200 for as many hours as needed to dry out the middle and prevent mold.  We did about 5 hours on medium and left them in the oven.


Unlike dog-food/treats, there is no goat testicle, pig placenta, or whatever normally goes into their food.  This is human edible and does not taste half bad.  Will be dog verified (for enjoyment and survival) on Thanksgiving.

For some reason we have the cookie shapes of:
- Texas Longhorns (who just beat my Pitt, so happy to feed this logo to dog).
- Guitar
- Star
- Lips that don't look like lips.
