 @4464071c Maybe it is so we can stop feeding cows blood & bird shit.

"Blood collected from a slaughterhouse was fermented with 10, 15 and 20% liquid molasses...indicating that fermentation was achieved... The preserved blood had a sweet smell..."  

Mmm, pairs well with some "Poultry litter <which had> an acceptable aroma"

"Processing of slaughterhouse blood and poultry litter and the effects on nutrient digestibility by steers"

 @cf9936ac @4464071c I still don't get how this is relevant to booze production. 
 @92df6761 @4464071c Zach is talking about how the journalist make a big deal about a vegan celebrity making vegan booze (which doesn't use animal products anyhow, at least not as main ingredient, although they do as additives or filter).

I searched if anyone had ever tried to make blood booze and it turns out yes, someone did in the name of ag science & a desire to do something with ag waste products. 
 @cf9936ac @4464071c Blood booze? WT... never mind, that sounds like something I really don't want to know about.

Thanks for the clarification though!
