I currently get about 150lbs of spent brewers grain a week and dry it out for dairy goats and rabbits. If any goes bad I feed to the chickens. Well, the brewery is expanding in March and is anticipating producing 1500lbs. of spent brewers grain a week. With that in mind my wife and I are considering what to raise with the excess SBG. The obvious choices are beef cattle and hogs. We have the ability to pasture both. Being in NW Ohio, I'm leaning towards hogs just because they can be grown out in 5 or 6 months and wouldn't take up as much pasture and can be finished prior to the cold months of January and February. I've also read where people create
compost beds and grow mushrooms.
For those of you familiar with spent brewers grain, my question to you would be, if given an extra 1500lbs. a week, what would you do?
