I put it out in a separate dish and they eat it up pretty quick. No problems with flies

I am still doing my research on feeding fermented grain and was wanting to try it. Sounds like the thing to be doing with all the benefits from it.

I started fermenting scratch grains. You start with chemical free water, cover your grain a few inches above the grain leave for 3 days, stir it daily, drain and feed. It makes the nutrients in the grain more bioavailable and helps gut health like a probiotic.

Help me understand the draining part, won’t that wash away nutrition?

I just pour it through a stainless steel seive and drain the liquid off, I dont rinse it.
