Leffe's website lists "corn" as an ingredient in their Blonde beer. Some say this means corn sugar, and Karen England recommends 2 lbs in 5 gallons.
As one member said, this sounds like a recipe for Budweiser.
The Leffe folks aren't talking.
Anybody have any ideas on this?
 
corn is the same as maize. i can across the same thing recently when getting the ingredients for my newcastle brown clone.
 
To be precise: Kristen England wrote: "For Belgium beers, they love the word corn. .... 99% of the time when you see these words it means corn starch. Why corn starch? Well, its a helluva lot cheaper than corn sugar (way less processed) and when you stick it in the mash, you basically get corn sugar. .... I've experimented with both and found no difference in the final product."
Her Leffe Blonde clone recipe calls for 2 lbs of corn sugar
