Section 2778 - Brewers' and Distillers' Products

(a) Brewers Dried Grains is the dried extracted residue of barley malt alone or in mixture with other cereal grain or grain products resulting from the manufacture of wort and may contain pulverized dried spent hops in an amount not to exceed 3.0 percent, evenly distributed.

(b) Brewers Wet Grains is the extracted residue resulting from the manufacture of wort from barley malt alone or in mixture with other cereal grains or grain products. The guaranteed analysis shall include the maximum moisture.

(c) Malt Sprouts is the product removed from malted barley consisting primarily of sprouts which may include some of the malt hulls, other parts of malt and containing not less than 24 percent crude protein. The term malt sprouts when applied to a corresponding portion of other malted cereals shall be used in qualified form: i.e., "Rye Malt Sprouts," "Wheat Malt Sprouts," etc.

(d) Malt Cleanings is the cleanings of malted barley or from the recleaning of malt which does not meet the minimum crude protein standard of malt sprouts. It shall be labeled according to its crude protein content.

(e) Malt Hulls consists of the hulls obtained in cleaning malted barley.

(f) Dried Spent Hops is the dried material filtered from hopped wort.

(g) Molasses Distillers Dried Solubles is the dried residue from the yeast fermentation of molasses after the removal of the alcohol by distillation.

(h) Molasses Distillers Condensed Solubles is the condensed residue from the yeast fermentation of molasses after the removal of the alcohol by distillation.

(i) Potato Distillers Dried Residue is the dried product obtained after the manufacture of alcohol and distilled liquors from potatoes or from a mixture in which potatoes predominate.

(j) Distillers Dried Solubles is the dried thin stillage fraction after the removal of ethyl alcohol by distillation from the yeast fermentation of a grain or a grain mixture. The predominating grain shall be stated as the first word in the name.

(k) Distillers Dried Grains is the dried grain or grain mixture after the removal of ethyl alcohol by distillation from the yeast fermentation by separating the resultant coarse grain fraction of the whole stillage. The predominating grain shall be stated as the first word in the name.

(l) Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles is the product obtained after the removal of ethyl alcohol by distillation from the yeast fermentation of a grain or a grain mixture by condensing and drying at least 3/4 of the solids of the resultant whole stillage. The predominating grain shall be stated as the first word in the name.

(m) Condensed Distillers Solubles is the condensed thin stillage fraction after the removal of ethyl alcohol by distillation from the yeast fermentation of a grain or a grain mixture. The predominating grain shall be stated as the first word in the name.
