Got a question:
I don't want to go into the specifics of why, but I want to know how possible it would be to get fermentable sugars out of corn and or rice. I can't use koji or enzymes from malted barley to convert the starches either. Is this possible? I don't think it is with rice, but isn't there a certain amount of sugar that you can get out of corn by simply cooking it? Or does the corn need to be malted, or need something like koji?
