I was just reading a thread that was moving from the original topic and speaking of spent grain. This got me to thinking about another thread a while back of uses for fores and the number of ways to reuse it. On that topic we came up with many uses from camping fuel to windshield wiper cleaner. Thus I thought it would be nice to share ideas of how to re-use or dispose of spent grain.
The obvious is to feed them to animals, I did a Google search and some are using the grain to make bread, pizza, French toast, etc. What my hope is not only to list how you use spent grain but also if you have any recipes that you will share them as well.

Re: Use for spent grain
Here are several articles on some of the industrial re-use.

Re: Use for spent grain
Going through the ADI forum I found this comment. If you are feeding spent grain to animals you might want to consider the following.
This was a follow-up response:When feeding spent grains to cattle, you have to tell whoever you give them to they need to watch out for bloat. Make sure you're giving that spent grain to someone who knows about proper diets and protein intake for their livestock (bovines predominately, I think swine are better in dealing with higher protein diets). Dealing with bloat in livestock is an ass-ache, you don't want to be an accident cause.
Are you sure SPENT grains can cause bloat?
I guess it won't hurt mentioning it to farmer just to cover yourself, but I think distillers spent grain is far less likely than fresh grain to cause bloat because it is already partly "digested", and is also wet.
I feed my spent grain to my sheep and cattle so if you can point me to some literature on the subject I would appreciare it.

Compost it. Monitor the pH. You might need to add some lime.
Distilling at 110f and 75 torr.
