Kai Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I read an old article on zero emissions brewing the other day and it make me wonder, what do Coopers do with their grain waste? The article said that that, while high in protein, it is less than favourable as stock feed due to the high lignin/cellulose content which increases gas production. I can imagine it also results in a fair drop in the calorific value of the feed. What drew me to the article was their plan for using the grain feed for mushroom production. So, if you don't mind me asking, what do Coopers do with their grain waste? Do you sell/give it away as stock feed? My apologies for asking what is probably a slightly esoteric question, but my curiosity was piqued. The article is available here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
