The leftover mash would have to be bone dry if used for feed. Many years ago I’d spend weekends on my uncle’s farm, his neighbor brewed a lot of beer and dried the mash to use as feed. All too often my uncle’s cows would get loose and raid the mash bin before it was dry. Drunk cows aren’t a pretty sight.

Kinda makes you feel sorry for Hillary’s security detail doesn’t it?
There is no alcohol in the mash, its just basically sugar water. It wont have any alcohol til the yeast are added after the mash is long done.
I just dump mine in the garden. But i know other brewers make bread with theirs.
the mash is just soaking the grain in hot water at a specific temp to release certain sugars and enzymes...
Only the little yeasties can make delicious beer...

I bet they are a lot easier to tip though..... ;-)
Jack Daniels Distillery has sold off the spent mash for at least 40 years that I am aware of. The hot spent mash is loaded into tank trucks, which drive to a farm and discharge it into troughs; cattle love it.
Sometimes not all of the alcohol is recovered from the mash; and you are right — drunk cows aren’t a pretty sight.
