looking through the vet room for some other stuff for a downed cow and found a bottle of Ketamalt.

So aparently its for treating acetonemia in livestock and especialy goats with twins late in pregnancy where the damand of the kids causes a build up of acetone in the blood...

Can someone smarter than me explain what all the ingredients do and could it provide an oportunity to make acetone free brews???

I'm not 100% sure but I bet Liquid Malt Extract would probably be easier to get, cheaper and ferment better, plus, probably has more malt per liter. Just guessing here.
