Brewpub spoils

[rgv]

I have a small brewpub that has offered me the grain from brewing the beer when they are done with it. I have heard this is good feed. My question is how do you store it. Right now they just throw it away in a dumpster. I took a look at it, however it is warm and damp/wet when they discard it. How long would it last before molding? Would it prevent mold if stored in airtight containers like barrels with a plastic seal on them?
Thanks in advance for your input.

I'm not sure about your question, but I just noticed you location and was wondering if by small brewpub, you were meaning Anheuser-Busch? They aren't too far down the road. I wonder how many tons of that stuff they go through in a day. :shock:

My question is I am concerned about the stuff molding faster than it's fed. Or does anyone have any experience with the stuff.

Brewers grains are an exellent feed, 22% protein 11.5 ME.
You will need to clamp and cover it if you are storing large quantities as it will get hot and mouldy very quickly. I wouldn't store more than I could feed in two weeks.
