Is cracked corn considered a grain
Peeps -
So i have done some scouring, and found no answer to this; I am a homebrewer looking to expand my repetoire. Translating from beer speak to distiller speak, I am running about 90% on the translations. Among all my other questions, this one is first up in my 'need to know before i get started' list.
Thanks in advance.

How would the answer influence whatever decisions you need to make going forward ?

Yep . You will have better conversion results with AG if you grind it finer before you cook it .

Re: Is cracked corn considered a grain
Thanks everyone for simple answers. And stillerboy, if you cant just answer a question, perhaps FORUMS ARENT FOR YOU?
I am a homebrewer @greggn, so when I read 'grain' and then 'cracked corn' in the same recipe - which are TOTALLY BOTH grains, I wonder if distilling treats them differently / separately.

Not sure I like how this thread is heading. Since the question has been answered I am going to close the thread.
