I tried boiling the cracked corn this weekend and it worked to an extent I believe if it would have let it boil longer I would have gotten better results but after about 2hrs of boiling I removed the heat to allow it to cool down and in that time just to add to the alcohol content I added 2lbs of sugar per 5 gallons I know its not a true grain alcohol now since I added the sugar but I wanted to make sure I at least had something that would produce, next time im gonna boil longer and not add any sugar. some suggestions is to not add the corn till after the water boils and then make sure to stir it regularly to keep corn from burning to bottom I had very little corn get burnt but I stirred maybe every 5-10 minutes

ive also read that if I boil the cracked corn for about 2 hrs or until its the thick gel like what the flaked maize and then allow it to cool to the point of adding the malt. does This work the same as flaked maize but just takes longer? will it work?

[Saltfisherman]

if I use cracked corn instead of flaked maize how much sugar do I need to add and can I still use the barley to add a flavor? I cant find any way to make flaked maize online

[Saltfisherman]

so I have a grain crusher now and Ive found a good deal on whole shelled corn and I would like to turn that into flaked maize, can I run the corn through the crusher several times until It comes out to what I would consider the flaked maize?

[Saltfisherman]

ouch that’s expensive is there anyway to make a diy one? or hand crank?

[Saltfisherman]

do i need to crush the barley or rye? or can I use whole rye with the flaked maize? if I do need to crush It how should I do that?

[Saltfisherman]

ok so I want to go with the flaked maize to get an all grain recipe, Im also thinking about using rye as part of the mixture can I add that to this recipe and how much should I add? and as for yeast im using Fleishmanns bread yeast.
