Does anybody have any good recipes for a corn beer? Perhaps I'm naive, but I'm surprised it's not utilized more.
Corn and rice beers are strictly taboo in home brewing society.
Brew them, but never speak of them.
The cream ale recipe I make has both corn and rice in it...and did I just say that out loud?!!??

No malting required, just get all your friends & neighbors to chew all the corn and spit it into a big pot.
How hard-core are you willing to get into this? I have read of people taking green corn stalks and extracting the sugars by soaking crushed corn stalks and then brewing a beer from that.
Yes, I was thinking mostly from corn. I'm intrigued because I've read that the Tarahumara Indians in Mexico make a type of corn beer. Sounds interesting and I thought it'd be fun to try and make a homebrew version of it.

Talk about being FOS.
Actually most of on here aren't beer snobs, and we don't look down on ANY beer style or ANY ingredient.

Or use alpha enzyme.

I make a kick ass cream ale with a lot of corn in it. And do quite a few historical beers where corn is quite common.
jamieofthenorth, many of the most popular recipes on here have corn in them, like Biermuncher's cream of the three crops, as does my Kentucky Common.
Malticulous makes a cream ale using POPCORN even.
I did it. And before the Discovery show too!
For a one gallon batch I used 1.5 lb of malted corn(with I hung to dry myself, after growing it at my in-laws farm) and some soft brown sugar, about 0.75lb.
The mash came out blood red!
I lightly hopped it with Cluster and after 2 weeks in the bottle was very well carbonated with a great tartness to it. It was NOT clear,but almost. Very enjoyable and worth the effort.
