Hi, sorry, do your spent-grain dog treats include the hops? Apologies if you already know and have avoided this issue, but hops can be horrifically toxic to dogs. I’ve treated dogs in the hospital for malignant hyperthermia due to hops ingestion, and it’s not pretty. Again, apologies if you already know and have mitigated this. If that’s the case, please just treat this as a well-intentioned PSA for anyone else who might be reading this thread and enjoy your day.

I am aware of the toxicity of hops when it comes to dogs (hours pitting up a fence around my hop plant will confirm lol), but I also appreciate the heads up and it’s always good to have the info out there for those stumbling across it! That being said, I only use the grains from the mashing process, well before hops have come into contact with the wort. Thanks for putting the info out for others who may not know and keeping all the boopable snoots safe though :)

My girlfriend loves it! Just note that when I do beers I rent to do high abv beers, I think this batch the potential alcohol is around 12% abv, at least according to beer smith. So you might need to tweak the amount of base grains or added brown sugar to suit your tastes. If you end up making it lemme know what you think of it!
