draff

Meaning

Noun

• A byproduct from a grain distillery, often fed to pigs or cattle as part of their ration; often synonymous with brewer's spent grain, sometimes differentiated from it; usually differentiated from potale, at least in technical use, although broad, nontechnical use has often lumped all such byproducts together, especially in the past.

Origin

• From Middle English draf, likely from an unrecorded Old English *dræf, from Proto-Germanic *drabaz.
