Corn meal

[Jonsmith8608]

I'm looking for a good 5 gallon corn meal mash recipe

Booners Casual All Corn

Corn meal and both enzymes, each used at proper temps will convert in under 5hrs. Chill immediately and pitch at yeast temp. 2lbs/gal.

You asked for a corn meal Mash recipe. TB gave you one.
If you want a sugar head. Your looking for UJSSM. Use the Google search box, or go to the T&T recipe section and find it.

Corn meal and enzymes = no sugar. The enzymes will convert the starch in the corn into sugars.

If you are looking for a corn flavoured sugar wash then check out UJSSM.

And if you want to pick up some ideas for searching on the forum and wider reading, take a look at the Still It videos on youtube. Not the source of all knowledge, but you'll get some ideas of things to look at.

If you keep asking questions to which the answers are easily found by searching, or just reading the recipes in this section someone is going to jump down your throat sooner rather than later. Just saying...

Edit to add: a bit like that... but possibly harsher!

Or just make it up as you go along.... you'd probably get better results than following along with those idiots.

I feel there's an enormous difference in quality between his recent videos (2020) and the older ones. It's clear that he learnt a lot. They're also quite good for picking up vocab. I learnt of both birdwatcher's and UJSSM from his videos before joining HD. Hence my caveat that they're good for picking up ideas that you want to look for later. I wouldn't try and follow along with a recipe from his videos, but they do inspire to come here and look up the details and do the reading... which I guess is the key point.

The enzymes are available on amazon in the us and it is well worth the $27 or whatever it costs. After a couple batches you will wonder why you ever used sugar.

I was sipping some of my first batch tonight and it is definitely going to be a regular thing. It is my favorite of anything I have ever made and I didn't think I liked corn.

To slightly hijack this thread, does anyone have a reasonable source for the enzymes in Europe. My normal source for all homebrewing stuff is out of stock of the only amylase that they stock (which is not high temp and requires at least 48 hours to process). SebStar is potentially available shipped from the US but at 100$ or more for shipping on around 16$ of product I'm not convinced by the value.

NormandieDistiller, I've never used them myself so I can't vouch for them, but I have seen them recommended on a Swedish brewing/distilling forum: https://destylacja.com/pl/c/ENZYMY/71

Mind you, the site is in Polish, but most of the relevant terms seem to be similar (enzym, gluko-amylaza, alfa-amylaza etc).

Thanks for that Beserk. I'm hoping to run AG, but having never played much with it, I like having a backup plan to save my mash. Roughly 10€ for 50ml of each, which is apparently good for 300kg of grain.
