We get the most out of spent grain

Biograin is the natural and most climate-friendly choice.

Insect feed, furniture, etc.

Pet and livestock feed

Fertiliser and Biogas

Ethics and sustainability

Fertiliser

Better than paid disposal

Loss-making for the supplier

Can only be applied for short periods

Biogas

A clutch solution, when the spent grain is too wet for other uses, or for handling sudden spikes in production

Spent grain is not a particularly profitable ingredient for biogas production, as the starch has already been taken out as best as possible in the beer brewing process

Pet food

Rich in fiber and protein

Not a natural part of most pet diets

Pig feed

Particularly good for stabilising the stomach, especially in piglets

The feed value is roughly half of that for cattle, and pigs don't gain enough weight, as it is simply too healthy

Cattle feed

Generally just really good as cattle feed

Large transport costs

Requires stable delivery otherwise fluctuations in milk yield

Insect feed

Best use of spent grain for animal proteins

Sales opportunities are still in the start-up phase and production is generally at a very small stage

Fiberboard and furniture

Allows for strong composite fiberboard

High energy costs that literally converts food to construction material

Human use, dried

Can easily be used in many different foods

Very large energy costs to evaporate the water so the spent grain it is storage stable

It can be a health challenge if the time from spent grain filter to drying is too long as pathogenic bacteria will develop uncontrolled

When drying, the pathogenic bacterial development is put on hold

When water is added back during the manufacturing process, the pathogenic bacterial development continues from the stage from which it was put on hold by the drying

Human use, wet

Virtually direct use in many foods, and for "Stop Hunger"

No development of pathogenic bacteria
