Excellent! Makes me want to move closer to a brewery. And get better at baking bread.

Hmmm, something to ponder as there is defininetely at least one small brewery in the Altstadt (old town), which is only a couple of km away. I now have visions of getting their waste grain once or twice a year and baking enough bread to last me for months. That chest freezer I’ve been dreaming about buying might need to be a really big one!

This bears some thinking about. If anyone has any information about exactly how the grain is used that would be really interesting. I’m a bit of a bread novice and have done almost no baking in the year since I moved to Dusseldorf. Why bake bread when there are two fantastic (and four not so great) bakeries within a few minutes walk of home not to mention dozens if I would just walk ten minutes further in any directions.

That IS neat! And it’s just the sort of thing I think we’ll see more of in the coming years. Economic recessions have a way of helping people waste less.

Thanks for sharing this in today’s carnival!
