Basic Brown Bread Spent Grain recipe: 1 1/2 cups white flour 1 1/2 cups spent grain 1 3/4 cups milk (or buttermilk or half and half milk/cream) 1 tsp bread soda 1 fistful of seeds or nuts or pinhead oatmeal. Whatever comes to hand.(sunflower seeds are nice) Mix dry ingredients. Add milk. Quick mix (don't over do it) then pour mix Into a greased loaf tin (or thicken with more flour and shape on a tray). 190 degree oven for about 50 mins. or until the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow. Remove from oven and wrap in a (damp) tea towel for a softer crust. Spent Grain from Ales using crystal malt seem to work best for this recipe. It's not necessary to dry the grain, but you might want to adjust the milk to get the consistency right, and not too gloopy. You can experiment with the amount of spent grain you add; less grain and more flour makes a lighter loaf.

Patti's SPENT GRAIN BREAD Recipe for spent grain beer bread: 3 cups of spent grain (wet) 1.5 cups warm (~100 F) water 1 package (1 tablespoon) dry BAKERS yeast 1/3 cup sugar (I prefer brown) 3-5 cups flour Dash of salt (optional) Proof yeast in mixture of water and sugar (make a starter). You should see krausen in less than an hour. Put spent grain in large mixer bowl. Mix in starter, and start adding flour. Keep adding flour until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky. Place dough in a large bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise until doubled. Punch down dough, and either: A) Split into two loaves and place in greased bread pans. B) Form into a round loaf and place on cookie sheet with a thin layer of corn meal under the loaf. Allow loaf(ves) to double in size, bake in 375 F oven 30 to 40 minutes until browned and a long pin, such as a turkey pin, comes out clean after being inserted into the center of the loaf. Note: This recipe uses spent grain from a pale ale recipe. If you have a gutsy mixer (Sunbeam mixmaster minimum, Kitchenaid is better) you can mix in all the flour in the blender bowl. If you have a wussy mixer, you'll have to knead the last cup or two of flour into the loaf by hand.
