Imperial Walker said:From what I know, prohibition sparked the used of corn and rice in american beers, and those things stuck around after the repeal. (someone correct me if I am wrong there.)
Kaiser said:I thought that corn and rice were used during the war(s) and that the prohibition reduced the number of breweries. That's at least what they in the Modern Marvels "Brewing" episode said.

as of today is is still in the primary as i still have 1" of krausen on top and steady bubbles.
this is the first time i used corn - maybe why it is taking so long
i got the receipe on line from palmers how to brew
since i am just starting all grain i missed the temps a bit but still ended with a starting gravity of 1.050
guidelines were starting 1.045 to 1.055 and ending 1.006 to 1.012
