Flaked corn for Bourbon

Post by Delecto »

I’m an experienced home beer brewer. I’ve done 5 distillations, no major flaws. I’ve done one bourbon. It turned out ok, but I didn’t get the conversion I expected. I’m using flaked corn because I don’t want the hassle of gelatinising. I’m thinking I need to soak the corn at about 180* for an hour or so before adding the malted barley. Those are my only two grains.

Do you think not soaking the corn last time was the issue? How would you do a bourbon using flaked corn?
