Brewers’ grain/spent grain is a byproduct of the brewing process. Beer begins with a mash of barley (and sometimes other grains) and hot water, which after an hour or so of enzymatic activity, converts the grain’s starch into sugar and is then drained and rinsed to extract that sugar. That’s what the brewer wants: sugar, which is the starting place for fermentation. Left behind are the starchy endosperm, residual protein and whatever residual sugars the brewer couldn’t rinse away. These protein- and fiber-rich leftovers are excellent feed for everything from cows to chickens
We offer complete solutions to retrieve proteins from brewers spent grain from the beer production.
The system includes dryers, screw presses and complete installations for dewatering and drying of by-products from the beer production. Dry spent grains contain 20 to 26% crude protein and are used as a pure natural addition to animal fodder.
