Notes
*To substitute the spent grain with cooked barley: Use a ratio of 1 part barley to 3 parts water. Bring 1 ½ cups water to a boil. Add ½ cup hulled barley and return to boil. Reduce heat to low (cover and cook for 45-50 minutes. Cool off and squeeze out any extra water before using in this recipe. Should make exactly 1 ½ cups.)
