corn brands

[Rise N Shine]

Hello,
If I’m not able to get ahold of local crop corn, what kind of brands of cracked corn (or other types) would be good for a corn recipe that you can get at local feed stores? also, anyone have any good advice for cleaning feed corn to remove all the gunk besides hosing it off?

How large of batches are you making at a time?

I use flaked maize from the homebrew shop but I know folks use this with good luck as well: http://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/producers-pride-cracked-corn-50-lb?cm_vc=IOPDP1

Folks also use this: it has 4 ingredients (Rolled Corn, Oats, and Cane molasses.) (no pellets!!)

i just make 5 gallons batches per run. thank you! what would you say the ratio is for corn to sugar; 1LB of sugar per 1LB of corn? I prefer the natural flaked maze without sugar but someone near here had a problem with there corn production LOL. so, headed to alternatives! 🙂

You can get flaked maize online from any homebrew shop- it is more expensive but you will extract the sugar from the corn..if you use cracked corn you will have to add sugar.

I do about 1:1

7 pounds cracked corn
5 gallon water
7-8 pounds sugar
