Q.2 Brewing uses less than ___% by weight of your malt.Question 2: Brewing uses less than 10 percent of your malt, so composting the rest or upcycling into spent-grain baked goods and flour is a no-brainer.
Any thoughts on this? I thought the explanations were a little off.https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/trivia/tuesday-beer-trivia-earth-friendly-brewing/I would probably say chlorine corrodes stainless steel, it doesn't "wear" it down.QuoteQ.2 Brewing uses less than ___% by weight of your malt.Question 2: Brewing uses less than 10 percent of your malt, so composting the rest or upcycling into spent-grain baked goods and flour is a no-brainer.Brewing uses less than 10% of the sugar/starch content of the malt? Or is this alluding to the fact that a 5 gallon batch uses 11 lbs and I weigh 185?
I guess I could be nerdy sometime and re-dry and re-weigh the spent grains after a brew, then compare against freshly milled malt of the same type.But seriously........... this is mega-trivial, IMO.

It's false information. Unlike bad keg purging methods, it won't harm your beer, but it's sloppy "education." I'm not getting worked up. But I'm curious, gonna go read the 2005 article.

I recommend corrections for the trend of current issues and possibly adding a technical editor to better research future information if it’s in the budget. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
