We used to get wet "malt" from the Olympia Brewery back in the '50's. Dairies were small enough that they couldn's take all the production in the summer, which is the busy time for beer production- so some dairies had a big "malt pit", which they filled in the summer. It ensiled, and made good feed in the winter- in fact, the increase in milk production was greater than could be explained by the composition of the stuff. They had to fill it fast, so it wouldn't spoil- so semi trucks came, to each farm in turn- they let you know a few days in advance, and you had to have gates set up and cattle moved out so they had a straight shot to the pit, without opening gates, and they hauled day and night for about 2 days, until the pit was full, then started on the next farm. We covered it with plastic, just like you would a grass or corn silage bunker. It was delivered hot- had to keep everyone away from the pit, if you fell in it would cook ya'! We learned that the hard way- my little sister's show heifer met an untimely demise by getting out of her pen, and fell in. RIP, Rosebud.
