Oh yes, of course, spent grain is rich in proteins and vitamins, it is a wonderful animal feed (side note, my favorite bread is "Icky" bread, made from the spent grains from The Great Basin Brewing Company's Ichthyosaur IPA).

BUT US law regards the grain from alcohol fuel production as "industrial waste" and forbids its use as an animal feed.

So ranchers, feed lot operators chicken and pig farmers have to buy their feed grain from corn farmers, the corn growers know it's nice to have a strong lobby...

DDGS are sold locally by every ethanol plant in America. Many don’t dry the product, just dump the wet stuff into trucks for local feedlots.

You may be thinking of some state laws regarding uncooked mash from breweries. Not sure if they’re still in effect.

LOL! Does Brew Brothers have any available? There’s a new brew house off of Rock just south of the RR underpass on the left if you’re headed south. Used to be an old junk warehouse. Options. LOL!
