Flaked maize percentage for CAP

<< < (4/4)

onthekeg:
I use raw #2 field corn for my CAP and usually am in the 25% range.  Cereal mash it and add it to the main mash to come up to sacc temp.  I don't get a corny taste either.  I actually don't want one! :D

pjj2ba:
Use  a different yeast!!  I use wlp 833, the bock strain, and the maltiness that it accentuates in say a marzen, seems to hold true for corniness in a CAP.  I really like this yeast for light lagers to give a bit fuller of a taste in what might otherwise be a thin tasting (ie BMC) beer.

Lynux:
I might catch some flack for this but...

I think Busch tastes sweeter than Bud for this very reason.  Corn is used in Busch and rice in Bud.  I can't really detect a corny character in Busch but it's definitely sweeter and I actually prefer it to Bud on occasion.  Not that I drink either a ton but once and awhile both taste all right to me.

Just my 0.02.
