Good Morning #Nostr

Yesterday morning first thing I was in town picking up a big load of grain which I emptied right away into the sheep pen once back on the farm. The fog remnants mixed with the steam from the grain to make a nifty view.

My morning was spent mowing as we had a big rain storm inbound which I had to beat. Despite a couple injuries in the process I got the bulk of it done before the water began falling. It then proceeded to dump all night and is still raining now, we have over .75" in the gauge and counting. Be nice if it would mellow out some for the summer so the grass wil lstop growing at hyper speed.

How many days grain is that? What kind of grain is it? It doesn't hurt it to get rained on? Thank you.

It's spent Brewing grain. The food co-op I am a part of has a malting operation that supplies many of the local breweries with local grain locally malted that I get from a few of them.

Seeing this come back in my feed I never answered parts.

The amount of grain depends on how large the brew that is made. Some breweries have large capacities while others are a lot smaller. I can get up to 8 full barrels on a high abv brew but the normal is 3 to 4 barrels for a full run.

It's mostly barley but I get variuos other grains in depending on the brew that is made.

The water doesn't hurt at all. The grain is anaerobic so the extra water doesn't hurt. It can get a bit pungent but the birds and animals all pick out what they will eat and leave the rest to grind into the soil.
