The Brew Roots team spoke to us right before our launch in 2021. We got to cover the pros and cons of spent grain removal, the offsets compared to composting, and tons more.

In the episode below, we talk with Noah Bissel and Matt Robinson from Bissel Brothers about composting, feeding animals, the challenges of spent grains, and where Against The Grain fits in.

Against The Grain toter service for spent grains from breweries, apple pomace from cideries, cakes from wineries, and other by-products.
Against The Grain learns about your specific needs at your brewery, cidery, winery, or production facility.
Fill the toters with your spent grains, apple pomace, cakes, etc. and leave them. No labor needed from your staff.
Against The Grain will collect the filled containers based on your production schedule and volume.
Once Against The Grain collects your "waste" materials they will be brought to one of our many farm partners throughout New England.
Feeding waste products to animals has immense environmental offsets, even when compared to composting or anaerobic digestion.

A one-up from composting, Against The Grain, is the best option for your spent grains. Whether you are just upgrading from brewing beer in your kitchen, or a tenured industry brewer with a spent grain silo, we have a solution that can fit your needs.
