Is anyone else having trouble holding themselves back from wheying in on the whey cool discussion?

  Actually, around here there are many farmers who seek out the whey as a source of protein for their livestock. Especially for sheep producers. There's also the residue left after the manufacture of tofu that is likewise utilized.

  Given that most cheese-makers have to pay to dispose of whey, that might be an interesting micro-source.

  Butanol.  95% of the fuel value of gasoline.  More octane. Capable of 
  being made with a two-stage fermentation process from all sorts of food 
  wastes, such whey from cheese production....
