I made a corn ale using flaked maize and some leftover oats I had laying around. I did not realize at the time that I was not going to have enough enzyme from the little bit of pils malt to convert the corn and oats. The result was stopped fermentation at 1.020 when I was targeting 1.012 FG and pretty much a horrible, undrinkable swill.
I plan on dumping this brew, but before I do I thought about trying beano to dry up this beer. The catch is that it's sitting carbed in the corny. Questions...
1) Should I just take it off of CO2, throw beano in the corny and leave it, or will beano cause crazy fermentation in the full corny resulting in a mess?
2) Should I airlock the corny or leave it sealed?
3) How much beano should I use?
4) How long should I expect this to sit?
5) since the beano is breaking the sugar chains apart, how do I know when my fermentation is complete?
Thanks all,
