Spent Grain Dog Treats Recipe. Jeff Thursday Jan 25th, 2018 Spent grain can be used for so many things outside of brewing beer - breads, muffins, even burgers! My particular favorite is using it as the main ingredient in dog treats for my two dogs, Gus and Charley. You can get spent grain from any local brewer that's willing to spare it.

Beer fills in the cracks of our human bonds to make them stronger. It gives an elasticity to tested nerves and smooths the wrinkles creased by fraught days. Bristly attitudes subside. Smiles grow and widen. It brings an air of commonality between those of an opposite nature, and rounds the edges of social interaction. It’s only natural to want to apply this magical brew to all of life’s relationships, even with those of other species.And what species would be more deserving than dogs? Don’t go filling Fido’s dish with ale just yet.

It’s extremely important to know. That means no brewskies for Doggo. While hops are typically not attractive to canines, the sweet spent grain left over from the mash during the brewing process, is. Spent hops and grain are disposed of after a brew day, ending up in the compost pile or the garbage. If WoofWoof decides to snack on your mixed spent brewing ingredients, the results could be deadly.

But there is a way to give your faithful friend what she wants without the unwanted side effects. Hops: great for people, bad for dogs!The brewing process begins with adding hot water to malt, which can include barley, wheat, rye, and oats, among other grains.

After the grains have steeped in the hot water for a certain period of time (called the mash rest), the liquid (wort) is separated from the grains and transferred to the boil kettle. At this time, the grains have been “spent”, or completed their purpose for the brewing process. So long as the spent grains have been kept separate from hops, they’re safe for dog consumption., making it an ideal food source for farm animals, or for crafting fine treats for your best four-legged friend!

Preheat the oven to 350°. Dump all ingredients into a big bowl. Get your paws in there and mix everything thoroughly until you’ve got a nice dough ball. Add flour as needed if it’s too sticky. (I ended up adding another ⅓ cup of flour).

Separate your dough into three smaller dough balls for easier handling. Pop an extra helping of flour on top of each one. Generously flour up your clean, dry counter and rolling pin, and roll that dough ball into a dough pancake. Using your adorable assortment of dog cookie cutters (I found mine at the grocery store), cut out as many dog treats as you can, re-rolling the scraps as needed. It doesn’t have to be prefect.

So I finally got around to making these yesterday. First, they were a lot of fun to make. I found cute dog bone shaped cutters online.

My dog loved them!!! She kept coming back for more and eventually I had to cut her off. I offered some to my neighbors and her dogs love them too. We handed some more out during Trick or Treating if people had their dogs with them and every dog that tried them, loved them.

I have 4 more bags of grains in the freezer so once they are gone, my son will need to brew some more beer! Thank you for the recipe! Hi Carl,I did some research, and I think some rice hulls in your mash should be fine to use for making spent grain dog treats. Rice hulls are a common “filler” for some dog foods.

A few websites recommended against purchasing dog food with rice hulls in them, as they’re not a great source of nutrition for your dog. However, these are treats! Assuming you’re not using spent grain treats to replace your normal dog food, I think they’ll be just fine for Fido. As a disclaimer, I am not a veterinarian, and my opinion is based off of internet research. If you’re unsure, please check with your veterinarian before feeding these to your dog.Cheers!Lauren.
