Yes, we know, the intro is a little grand. But that’s exactly how it feels to us right now.

After months of planning, building, and fine-tuning, we’ve just completed our first full-scale mobile production unit and successfully produced the next batches of ValueGrain with it!

It feels like just yesterday we were finalizing our prototype. Since then, our technical team around Marten Schmidt & Heinrich Rieber has taken it to the next level with strong support from our partner BrauKon GmbH. The technical drawings and documentation are done, and first production is already underway. Batches are being made as you read this — for sampling, lab analysis, and pilot projects with food industry partners.

The unit can process up to 6,600 tons of brewers’ spent grain (BSG) per year into ValueGrain equivalent to the annual side stream of around 300,000 hectoliters of beer.

We’ll be sharing more pictures of this beauty soon once the outer casing is on — but we couldn’t wait to celebrate this milestone with you.

If you’re curious about how the tech works or would like to collaborate, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to share more under NDA.
