Abstract:
In one aspect there is provided a method for producing ethanol and distiller's dried grains and solubles (DDGS). This method comprises the steps of: providing a plurality of feedstocks; milling said feedstocks; mixing the milled feedstocks into a feedstock blend; producing ethanol from the feedstock blend using a dry milling process; and collecting the DDGS by-product, after the ethanol is produced. In another aspect, the method further comprises providing barley as one of the feedstocks and peas as a second feedstock, wherein the barley feedstock and pea feedstock is mixed in a ratio of between 2:1 and 3.5:1 to make the feedstock blend. In yet another embodiment, antifoaming enzymes are added during the dry milling process to reduce foaming during the fermentation stage of the dry mill process.

Claim (Index 11):
The method according to  claim 8 , wherein both the feedstock of barley and peas are dehulled prior to milling.
