For years, Tony and Suzanne Sutorik experimented in their home with brewing beer and using the leftover grains to create baked goods.
They did research online about other home breweries until last summer when they opened Mi Element, a microbrewery, bakery and coffee shop in Midland, Michigan.
Tony Sutorik, the owner and operator, said Mi Element has a one-barrel brewing system that brews beer and uses the leftover grain from the process to create flour that is later used in the cafe’s baked goods.
