What happens to the left overs?

[Triker]

I know that after brewing the bi products are often used as animal feed etc. Something thats always interested me is what happens to the liquid left after distillation of whiskey for example? :hmm:

Yep I think thats more to do with what's left after the malting and mashing. I was wondering what happens to the surplus liquids remaining after the distillation process. There will be a very large amount of alcohol free 'beer' :idea: ....... :hmm: I wonder, it couldn't be could it

It kind of is but of course it hasn't been hopped. It is just the unfermentable sugars produced in the mash and a load of proteins because they don't care about removing them in solution or suspension.

They simply reduce it down to a managable consistency and, like the spent grain, it goes for animal feed.

I believe...

He tells me they use the waste from the stills as in input to the process too...

Are you suggesting you've figured out where Tenants comes from???

That's what they call the "feints" - i.e. there is a feint trace of ethanol but less than the intended ABV that gets collected and fed back in with the next batch. There is still a lot of stuff left behind though after this point - that just gets taken off and concentrated for feed.

But at this point we're probably going into too much detail and we should refrain from further discussion. viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1059&start=0

Ah! OK that could be it then. I was thinking I might have figured out where that 'Kaliber; rubbish comes from
