"So I tried a straight corn mash. 12 pounds ground feed corn in 5 gallons water. Cooked it and added gluco-amylase on the way up to a boil and again on the way down. Alpha-amylase when it got below 150.

Next day I dumped it in on a leftover cake from a sugar/tomato paste wash that I used redstar champagne yeast in. Stirred every day for three days and the airlock is bubbling nicely.

It has a film of orange/red oil on top. Definately oil. Maybe a tablespoon or two. The mash smells fine.

What the hell is it? Can I run it?"

Sure. A little oil in there should keep it from foaming up. No use to add butter since you already got corn oil seems like. Smart thinking.
