I know that it's bad to feed grain to wethers because they will get urinary tract blockages due to the phosphorous content.
I was wondering if spent brewery grains still had that problem. (not sure what the soaking and heating does to the grain)

anyone know?

I am not sure on the brewery grains but you CAN feed bucks and wethers grain/feed if it is properly balanced with the right Calcium/Phosphorus ratio. If you can find any information about the calcium and phosphorus content of those grains, you could make sure to balance it out.
