Brewers grain available in Twickenham

[BrewerEmma]

Hi there,
My partner and I are opening a new brewery in Twickenham and we are due to start brewing in January 2020. We are looking for a local farm to take our highly nutritious BSG (brewers spent grain) free of charge to feed their animals.

We will be brewing approx once every 10 days initially, but this will increase as we become more established. Each brew will average ~600kg of malt (dry weight). You would be required to collect the BSG from the brewery after each brew day.

Perhaps someone here might be interested? Or if you have any advice about finding a suitable farm it would be much appreciated!

Thank you,
Emma

I'd have thought there'd have been a queue forming by now...

.....maybe not so many cattle fed in your neck of the woods though

There is a cattle farmer at Osterly Park. The last farm inside the M25 when approaching from the A4.

Get in touch with Social farms and gardens, they have several members running city farms in London, would be valuable feed for them and great publicity for you.

Free brewer's grains? What's not to like?

Probably not much fun taking a tractor into Twickenham.
Would that be in any of the low emission zones?
And what are the rules if so?

Not sure 600kg needs a tractor and trailer, how much would you normally pay for brewers grains?

City farms is a great idea, good publicity too donating free feed to them!

Would 600 kg of BSG fit in a tote bag or an IBC with the top cut off... would fit in back of pickup

I know of a brewery putting the grains into a biffa bin can then be wheeled onto a trailer?
