We save some of our spent grains by placing a cup of wet spent grains in a baggie and freezing it. This will keep the grains in good shape until you bake with them. Just take out a baggie and thaw it in the refrigerator overnight for a cup of spent grains.
The spent grains leftover from this beer are especially good in our Spent Grain Bread recipe. They also work well in the Spent Grain Pizza Dough and Spent Grain Dog Biscuits.
