could i make a mash from this

Post by lance »

Millrun is a by-product from the milling of wheat for flour
production. Millrun is the most common by-product of flour
manufacturing available for livestock feeding. It consists of
the bran, aleurone, germ and pollard fractions.
The wheat seed consists of various layers. The outermost
layer is the bran fraction and under this is the aleurone layer.
The germ, which is at the base of the seed, is high in fat,
fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and minerals. Under the
aleurone layer, and constituting most of the seed mass, is
the endosperm composed of thin walled cells packed with
starch intermixed with gluten.
The objective during the milling process is to remove as much
as possible of the starch and gluten from the bran, aleurone
and germ fractions.

never made a grain ferment any help would be good thks

From your description, I guess it would only be useful for flavor and/or nutrients. See TFFV.

I guess if it were me the question would be why not try it. If you have easy access to it and if it’s cheap enough, give it a rip.

I have used wheat bran as part of the flavoring portion for a sugarhead, but never tried to mash it as an AG. It made a great white whiskey.
If in doubt leave it out.

If the starches have been removed then there's nothing to convert. As Chris said, it could useful as an adjunct, for its nutrients, but it would produce no fermentable sugars.

Fruit—end result-Brandy. No end to the possibilities.
If in doubt leave it out.

I understand which part you mean, no you would not have good results because almost all the starches are missing ... it would be useful in a mash with high corn percentages, the bran would help filtration.
