Coming from an AG beer background where grains etc are mashed corn has got me asking a few questions. What I am aiming to do is make a bourbon so I have a few questions.
Does corn need to be mashed like malted barley. Have seen some writtings that you just mix it with boiling water.
Is normal animal feed corn suitable. I can get it here direct from growers cracked in 25kg bags
What would be the optimal corn/water ratio so I can work out an SG based on a 50ltr wash
Any reason why I cant/shouldnt mash the corn in with malt barly,wheat &rye
