Pot Ale Syrup
A co-product from the manufacture of malt whisky, Pot Alt Syrup comprises mainly yeast cells and residues from malted barley after alcohol is distilled off the fermented wort by high temperature in copper stills. At several distilleries, Pot Ale Syrup is mixed back with the spent grains (Draff) resulting, after drying, in the production of Distillers Dark Grains.
Pot Ale Syrup is a very nutrient-rich and palatable feed for most ruminant
stock. However, because of its high copper content, extreme caution
needs to be taken when feeding animals which may be sensitive. This
particularly restricts its use in sheep diets generally and prevents
its use altogether in diets for many continental breeds or any housed
sheep.
