Dry milling – The whole corn kernel is ground into a powder, mixed with water to form a mash (similar to oatmeal) and then cooked with enzymes that turn the starch into glucose.The mash is fermented and distilled to separate the ethanol from the solids and water, which becomes a high quality livestock feed called distillers grains.
