Abstract: We show that every infinite discrete group $ G$ has an infinite minimal subflow in its Bernoulli flow $ \{0,1\}^G$. A countably infinite group $ G$ has an effective minimal subflow in $ \{0,1\}^G$. If $ G$ is countable and residually finite, then it has such a subflow which is free. We do not know whether there are groups $ G$ with no free subflows in $ \{0,1\}^G$.
