Can I re-use what's left in the Brewing Dock?Updated 2 days ago

Yes, you absolutely can!

The leftover material in your Brewing Dock after brewing is known as Trub – a word that comes from German and means sediment. It’s the yeasty, foamy layer left behind after fermentation finishes.

Instead of rinsing it away, why not put it to good use? Trub can be a great natural substitute for yeast in baking.

🍞 What Should Trub Look Like?

Trub should appear foamy and yeasty – that’s how you know it’s active and ready to bake with.
If it looks syrupy, flat, or like it hasn’t fermented, something may have gone wrong during the brewing process, and we wouldn’t recommend using it. If that’s the case, check out our article on Fresh Press in the Brewing Dock for more info.
