hey all
im going to do a ujssm brew for my next. i am finding it hard to locate corn to use for it. i found plenty of popcorn (would work i think), but i reckon non popcorn would be cheaper?
dose anyone here live in new zealand and know where to get plain old dried cracked corn and or could i just use frozen corn from the supermarket that i could dry out in the oven?

cheers for any help............ MK

RD1 Farmlands or Wrightsons will all have cracked corn you can use.

cheers

Its more often called kibbled maize in NZ also try RD1 or Binn Inn

cheers tried timaru bin inn nothing there. going to try the others.

cool i found some kibbled maize. The question i now have is, is kibbled maize maize or corn (im thinking its maize) which is a direct relative of corn but not 100% the same. dose it matter, would it still work the same?

+1 on RD1
They have rolled barley too.

cool we have a RD1 in our little town. FEIJOA do you use rolled barley in ujssm? if so how much per 20L?

"is kibbled maize maize or corn (im thinking its maize)"
one and the same...
"do you use rolled barley in ujssm?"
you could if you want,,its not in the recipe but you can add if you wanted.

cool. will get sum tomorrow. if you were to put barley in to, would you do half half barley an kibble or add extra barley? as a starter. ill probably end up experimenting with diff weights etc anyway.

Try std UJSSM first, then try 50:50 with barley - suck it and see - your taste buds are the best guide!

$7.50 per 2l/3kg of Mollases at RD1, which is about as cheap as you get untill you buy a 44 gal drum from Wrightsons.
Corn - somethign like 15-20 for a sack; it's a while since i bought it.

cool pretty fair prices , keep it in the memory bank incase i ever come home to run for PM

I put a batch of UJSSM togther; cracked maize from farmlands was cheap but I had to buy a lot so I left that. As I felt that all I would want to do to start was the 8 or less brews that the recipe says you can get off one load of corn before I tried something completely different I bought mine from the petshop where they keep it as chicken food. Twice the price but probably still an economy for me. Try the petshop.

(the brew's sitting festering while i make my still the hard way. Heaven knows what it'll end up like.)

Yes the petshops good for small amounts try Birdbarn lincoln rd if your in AKL.
or this guy in swanson he sells molasses by the litre too...

Falloons has some of the best prices i've ever seen, and you can buy smaller bag of different grains, rolled and unrolled; ostensibly as chicken food, but perfect for brewing

Good price for 20kg bags not sure but I'd imagine if you can't pick up postage will get pricey

I finaly got hold of some . I got a 10kg bag of cracked maize for $25 from CRT should do me fine for a few brews. Farmlands didn't have any in stock or even seem the slightest bit interested in tracking some down for me .
