"My twin daughters are graduating college in June, so they want Dad to make a pure corn shine to celebrate. When they say pure, they mean it....no sugar, no barley malt. So I bought 50 lbs of whole kernal feed corn. Tomorrow I plan to sprout about 15lbs for a malt, dry it, crush it and then later add to maybe15-20 lbs of the crushed whole kernal corn for a mash.....let that do its conversion for a couple days then add yeast for a ferment. Thats the simple plan. Will it work? Thanks in advance"

Seems like it would work..if you heated it to the right temp and held it for the right length of time. May want to do some research on that. I did a little Googling and found this link that looks fairly plausible. http://homedistiller.org/forum/...pic.php?f=11&t=12850

Hey BW thanks for the link. I did some other reading (while some corn is sprouting), kinda looks like I will need to use some sugar. If for the least, my set up and rig are too small (PSII 8 gal) to be able to just use corn solo cuz I'd be stillin' a ginormous amount of mash to get my normal yield. Figger I'll use some brown sugar or molasses as a modification to that recipe you linked and convince the girls folks did that 200 yrs ago
