Hmmmm im not really sure where a corn taste would come from, unless you think dms tastes like corn. Which it doesnt. If youre going to be critical at least be give positive criticism and know what you're talking about. Cheers!
Eh, from the Homebrewing Wiki:
"Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is an organic sulfur compound present above its flavor threshold in most beers. Because of its low flavor threshold, 10 - 150 ppb, it is a primary flavor and aroma compound that makes a significant contribution to beer character, especially in lager beers. It has a characteristic taste and aroma of cooked corn or creamed corn. "

Ive used pilsner extract and mashed with it a few times all i kept thinking was potatoes with the aroma in the boil and even a hint of it in the final taste.
How long did you mash?
