You have already been advise that without some enzymes, you will not get any sugar out of the corn.. and also the grey corn as you call, that corn is not grey.. what you are referring to as grey the sediment of dead yeast and other ingredients.. just rinse and see the true color of the corn..

What potential do you think there will be without using enzymes..

I was hoping anyone might jump in. But that’s ok. Thanks.

You’re right, I was advised, which is why I poised my question as I did. I’m not talking about the dead yeast at all. When you go from one sugar head to the next in a Ujssm, you have to scrape off the layer of corn off the top. I don’t know exactly what it’s called, perhaps spent corn, I don’t know. Removing it reveals beautiful, yellow corn underneath. ( I’m quite sure I said this exactly before, so I apologize if I’m repeating).

What I’m removing is only corn. No other particulate, I looked quite closely. It’s color is grey. Not any other, but grey.

I love all opinions. I endeavor to say exactly what I see, and I mean. I make mistakes.

I’m reaching out to someone who’s done it, someone who’s tried to get starch out of this layer.

Of course, everyone knows they’ll need enzymes if they’re going to use it. But it’s always good to get a reminder (thanks again!). I really want to know if someone has tried, and what they’re results were.

I’ll certainly post mine.

I wouldn’t think to try without enzymes. If you don’t have sugars, you always need enzymes. I thought that was basic knowledge, but I guess those are the things we should always remind ourselves. Thanks!
