Beer from Corn, Beer from Oats

Hi to all,

My to do list of mad scientist projects this year includes making beer from corn and oats, also millet if I can get a quantity of it.  Anybody out there making beer from these ingredients? Id appreciate hearing about your experiences.  I'll probably take these projects up around the holidays given the relatively swift fermentation factor. Also any suggestions on a brew pot would be helpful.  Cheers! Mike

Oatmeal stout, a good way to use oats and one of my favorite beers. Smooth and dark! As for corn it can be used as an adjunct in beer to increase the amount of sugar. Look into beers called Chicha and Tesguino, if  you want a all corn beer. I have yet to try these beers or make them.

On to the brew pot. If you are going to make five gallons of beer, I would look for a six or six and a half gallon pot. I like stainless steal but an enamel pot can work. A few years ago I brew pot from https://www.blichmannengineering.com/. It was an investment and it did pay off. I do all grain brewing and getting the water to the right temp. Then opening a valve was a big change from dumping 170 F water in to the grain. And a lot safer!

Thanks T thats very helpful. Mike
