This is my first post, after a long time of reading, so thanks in advance for all the help you've all given me so far.
I have a lot of cracked corn that I've used as an adjunct for my BMC brews. I'd like to try for a pure corn SMaSH to see what the flavor is on it's own. I wasn't sure if Amylase would help me get the sugar out of the dried/cracked corn, or if I'd have to continue to use it as an adjunct.
Any advice? Would fresh corn work better? It will probably be a 1 gallon batch for trying this, so fresh corn wouldn't be out of the question, but there has got to be a way to convert the cracked stuff (it's so cheap).
