Cracked corn

Many like to post about a first successful ferment (or first all grain mash), or first still built/bought or first good run of the still. Tell us about all of these great times here.

Cracked corn

Post by Old Town »

So I threw away a 50lb bag of cracked corn or rather feed it to the critters. I brought it home and it was full of bugs so I disposed of it. I should of done my research first. After doing the proper reading I found that this is a common problem. With that being said I won't make that mistake again. I'll just cook them up next time and call it extra flavor. Just goes to show you, read first then make decisions Lessons learned!!

I know, buddy.
Distilling sure is a loose, forgiving game when it comes to what we'll throw in a bucket.

It really makes you wonder how many bugs we actually eat a day.. Where all still alive so I guess it's ok.

Just ferment it, run it, and consider it an 80-proof hotdog.
