[Jacob-list] corn gluten/ration

I have done quite a bit of research into biodiesel and feeding glycerol.  The university of Missouri did a study and found that it had quite a bit of potential.  But there is a very big caution.  Be sure to get your glycerol from a good source.  Many people are producing biodiesel very well in their garage, but some home brewers do not fully understand.  The first stage of the glycerol by-product is still fairly contaminated with methanol.  There have been some fairly large livestock disasters from people feeding this to livestock.  Be sure that the Methanol has been distilled from the glycerol.  Methanol is getting expensive, so most producers, large and small, are recovering the methanol.  Glycerol has the potential to save us some money and provide a good feed source, but please be careful.
