Aventine Renewable Energy, Inc. operates a continuous beer fermentation process, producing more than two million gallons of beer per day. This process uses a corn starch media and brewers yeast of the saccharomyces cerviseae classification. Our plant microbiologists closely monitor the fermentation process to ensure clean, healthy fermentation without the use of antibiotics. The beer and brewers yeast stream is transported via pipeline directly to Aventine's brewers yeast plant. The brewers yeast is removed from the beer stream and immediately processed into a growing variety of products for use in animal, pet and human food, and fermentation applications.
