Is there a basic ratio for cracked corn to sugar to water and yeast. I read somewhere that if using corn meal its 1 to 1 to 1. Would it be the same for cracked corn TIA

No. Corn and sugar amounts can be altered from 100% corn to 100% sugar and any ratio in between. Basic ratio I follow is 2 to 2.5 pounds of corn per gallon of water with no sugar.

Read through the Tried and True recipes section. Compare the recipes to each other for more answers to the question you are asking.
