papa Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 This is kind of an oddball question,but after my mash is ready to distill and the corn is screened out can you feed it to wildlife? And does it have any nutritional value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteB Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 It sounds as if you screened the solids out after fermentation and before distilling. It will be alcoholic and not a good idea to feed to any animals except in very small amounts. Non alcoholic spent mash has a lot of nutrition for animals, I feed it to my farm animals. Feeding any wildlife is not a good idea because it disturbs the natural balance in the local ecosystem. eg, a visitor to my distillery last week told me she had fed a couple of wild galas, the next day a few more arrived, then a few more so she stopped feeding them. Next day she came home and a big flock had come and totally ripped her wooden pergola to shreds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 to pete b Dont plan on disturbing wild life balance,but i am a hunter and am using it as bait. I doubt that they would suffer from any liver disease during my short distilling season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artisan Still Design Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 high protein content and low carbohydrates, pig farmer would be knocking down your door to get it if they knew you had it. as far as alcoholic content, if they mix with other feed first, I doubt it would ever be an issue.
