I am brewing a cream ale ("Weed Feed & Mow" from Brewing Classic Styles by Jamil) soon and my LHBS is out of flaked maize. Its the last ingredient I need to brew this.
1) I work in a grocery store and we don't sell flaked maize, but we do sell a granular variety of maize. Will this work?
2) Will substitution of grits or polenta work as well?
2b) If substituting with grits or polenta, how does the quantity scale? Recipe calls for 1lb flaked maize, do I add 1lb grits/polenta?
3) Recipe calls for WLP001 yeast. I have a vial, but would WLP080 (cream ale) work better?
Thanks for any feedback.
