Brewer's spent grain

Materials

Brewer's spent grain, also called draff, is the solid residue left over after wort is extracted during beer brewing, and it makes up around eighty-five percent of the total waste produced by the brewing process. It comes out of the brewery with a high moisture content but can be dried for longer storage, and because it is abundant, cheap and rich in protein, fiber, cellulose and hemicellulose, it has found reuse as a food additive, livestock feed, fertilizer and even as a material in ceramics.

Entity identity for the business product-service.sector GICS enum value this member already carries, per the phase 3 entity-backed browse bucket pilot (docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md, owner decision 2026-09-28 on business product-service.sector, w-bucketpilot-gics-0929). The sector fact itself, with its own citation, remains on the member entity unchanged; this edge only adds the durable entity identity the enum value already names.
