Brewed this yesterday afternoon since the weather was so good. Mid October and 25 C!
Anyway, having no flaked corn, I cooked up a couple of pounds of cornmeal and added that to the mash. Furthermore, I spread an ounce of Saaz over the final ten minutes of the boil.
Smells great - bubbling merrily along this morning.

Corn and rice in the Boil
BierMuncher
Pardon my stupidity. This will be my first all grain brew and I don't want to mess up. I've read thru all the posts and I have just one question. Early on, you responded:

Just toss it in. I usually add it last to keep the mucky stuff at the top of the tun. Doesn't really matter probably since I use a big scoop of rice hulls in all my recipes.
So you add the flaked corn and Minute Rice to the mash tun AFTER the boil and do not boil them?
Thanks, This looks like a great cream style ale. - Snow

No, he adds it to the mash, but he puts the malt in first and then the rice and corn to keep it away from the bottom of the tun. That prevents them from causing a stuck sparge.

This was back on page #50, and mentioned again in a few other posts. Do you still like the idea? If so, when do/did you add the table sugar?

thats a great find!!! been doing a little of the same but adding instead of replacing  just adjust the hops... subbing the sugar you want to add a little more ibu's(couple grams) and is a crowd pleaser...
Edit: the sugar gets the full boil..

My brother-in-law wants me to brew a yellow fizzy for a family party in November. Since he'll be helping for the day (another term for being my personal brew kettle cleaning slave  ), who am I to argue ? This recipe seems like it would be my kind of yellow fizzy, but I don't want to pay 3$ a kilo for flaked maize. Would replacing the flaked maize with corn grits (seminola for us French types) in a 1:1 give the same results ?
I know I'll have to do a cereal mash, but at 50cents a kilo in bulk, corn grits can't be beat. Plus, as I said, I'll have someone to stir the pot for 60 minutes

A friend of mine uses canned corn that he cooks and puts in a straining bag. Personally I have a 50 lb bag of flaked corn shipped from Keller, Texas : http://www.brewhaus.com/Default.aspx
