Alternative to starter - slow rise (1week +)

Toast

Hi!

I'm a beer brewer and I thought it was a good idea to make bread dough from all the grains in my previous batch.

That is, I added 6kg of flour to 6kg of crushed and mashed malts and thought I could make bread of it all. I baked a loaf on the brewday and kind of let it slow rise for a week now. It smells a little tangy (a little alcohol), and I made 3 loafs of it today. Smells and tastes ok I guess, and I got this idea that I maybe could keep the dough. Take care of it maybe as a sourdough starter just that it is the dough it self.

Does this sound crazy? Am I going to be sick tomorrow? 

 

The thing is that I hate to throw away all those crushed grains. 

Cheers!

From my fridge that was fed a week earlier and make a nice sourdough with no I'll side effects. I'm not sure I understand your method but don't see why it would make you ill. Let us know how it tasted. 

up the spent grains in bread,  But after nashing for a week extracting and converting  every last bit of starch to sugar the grain is really spent and tastes that way too,   A bread made with all spent grains is awful compared to real bread   You can use a bit of it in every bread but it pales to other grains you could add like sprouted grain of any kind. 

Best to just buy a pet pig to get rid of them and then you can smoke the whole hog while drinking your home brew. a win- win -win!.

Happy  baking
