SPENT GRAINS PRODUCED AFTER LAUTERING IN A MICROBREWERY



Spent Grain is the portable waste of malt and/or grains left after lautering and also mashing in the mixture home. When dried out, it usually consists of roughly 28% healthy protein, 8.2% fat, 41% carbs, 17.5% cellulose, and also 5.3% minerals. When damp, water by mass makes up 75%-- 80%.
