Just wanted to share, I made some Nong biscuits for the dogs after my last beer. Shared some with my friend, and my parents. All the dogs absolutely went berserk for the treats. I don't know why, but they loved them! Anyone else make biscuits out of spent grain? Also, this was with Marris Otter, is there any grain out there I should not use for biscuits? (I mostly use specialty grains with DME such as Crystal malts and honey malt and carapils)

m I finally got SWMBO into the idea of making these. What is the recipe if you could share it please. I had in my favorites at that old pace bu as we all know that place is useless now.

4 cups grain
2 cups flour
1 cup peanut butter
2 eggs, I like to crumble the shells up in mine. It gives them more calcium!

I put mine on sprayed parchment paper. Score into treat size pieces. Bake at 350F for one hour.
Then break them along the scores and bake for 3-4 hours at 225F until completely dried out!

Nice guy, giving your friends and parents dog biscuits. Did you tell them they were nutritional snacks? Now feeding your IN-LAWS dog biscuits I can understand.

To the best of my knowledge, any and all grains are fine.

HOWEVER....If you use ANY HOPS IN THE MASH do not make dog treats from that grain. Hops and dogs do not mix!

I use to make biscuits until I noticed that the dogs were putting on a few pounds. Now I give my grains to a neighbor who has chickens and he gives me eggs.
This is what I see at the end of every mash, so I give him a handful in his bowl and he's a happy puppy.

I add my hops just to the wort, not the grains so it's never a problem for me.
As far as the Dawgz getting phat.. I tried to restrict them to just a few biskies a day. Normally at lunch they would get one, and who knew that a wiener head could tell time?
But if we were ducking out for a bit, they'd get one. Which explains why they'd heard us to the door to give us a hint.

Yeah, no hops in the mash. I really can't figure out why, but all the dogs went nuts for the treats. As for my parent's dogs, they are all already a bit husky because my mom has no ability to control their treat intake. So they are all well treated, but they went way more nuts over these than any other treat they have ever had (which is all the ones available commercially).

A true bisky story.

All y'all know I had to adopt my furballs out.
I sent a large bag of biskies with each.
This story comes from the Hoopy House.
The lady was prepping to pass out a snack, and Hoopy had seen her place the bag of Her Biskies on the counter.
The lady went and got her "standard" store bought biskies and gave one to the puppy she already had, and went to give one to Hoopy.
Hoopy just looked at Her, not the bisky in her hand, and went to the spot where Her biskies were sitting in the bag, and started jumping up and down eyeballin' the bag at the apex of each jump.
So Hoopy got her Bisky.
Now, after having shared Hoopy's biskies with her other dog as well, now the other dog blows the commercial biskies off as well.
