No more cooking dog treats at night!

[teutonic terror]

I'm a third shifter so I get my best stuff done at night.
I put my brew in the fermenter and let the grains dry a bit before doing spent grain treats last night.
I started them around 2AM, cut em up and set the oven for 4 hrs.
Then the dogs got up...at 3:30AM!
Needless to say, SWMBO was not a very happy camper. I was informed this morning I shouldn't do that again.

The old dog has been known to lay by the oven for the whole cooking process, in other words, all night long! LOL!!

LOL
Ah, the power of the dog nose...

Ah the power of SWMBO... :opps:

yeah, my girls get excited when I put on my biskie making apron (road kill cafe), and the weener head goes on watch, and the terrorist starts to drool. The Yo Caro Todo sneaks into the kitchen as a forward observer.

Can someone post up the recipe for both the dog and human treats? I saved some spent grain from yesterday and can't find the recipes. TIA!

[Yankeedag]

depends on how many biskies you want to make...but...
4 cups grains
2 eggs
enough flour to turn it to a dough
for the dogs
1/2 to 1 cup of P*butter
for humans
what ever natural nut grains and what not you want.

Excellent. Thanks YD!!

Yep SWMBO is a powerful entity!

We don't eat them ourselves, even though we have in the past.

I've started throwing the eggshells in the mix too to give them a little more calcium in their diet!

[Yankeedag]

not a bad idea. Too bad I have to give my girls up (because of the move). I most likely won't make Dawg Biskies again until I am in the Great Down Under. Then I'll just be selling them at the open market.

Well I have been freezing all of my grain in ziplock bags for a while now, I must have about 20 pounds of the stuff.

I was going to use it for my fishing hole but the lake here is so low that my hole is now high ground and I didn't even bother renewing my fishing license this year.

I'm don't have room for my frozen food anymore sooooo into the oven for how long and at what temperature please?


What else do folks do with their spent grains?

First up can you make beer with your used beer grain?

I'm not a baker so bread is out unless I can find someone to make it for me.

[Yankeedag]

350*F for 30 min... then to perserve them, I dry them in the cooling oven.
I just make the dog biskies. 4 cups or so of grains, 2 egs, half a small jar of peanut butter, and enough flour to turn it ti dough

Yankeedag, you leaving the States and going to Oz for a while?

[Yankeedag]

Yankeedag, you leaving the States and going to Oz for a while?

Yep. We've sold the house (or so we're told) and temp moving up to Washington State, right in the little town of KENT for about 6 months or so.
The wife is a Aussie, and she's been here for 11 years. I've alwasy wanted to see the Great Down Under, and figure this is a great opportunity to do so. Once there, I've no present plans to come back. I will just settle in, score a job, and melt into the surroundings.


Oh wait... this is me we're talking about... I'm just gonna try to stay out of as much trouble as possible.

There is a company that specializes in international pet transfers. Are you sure the pets pets can't go with you?

[Yankeedag]

very sure. Once we get there, we've no place to keep them.
