when to add/dispose of corn?
2009-03-18 7:30pm
Hi - from what I could deduce from your comments/summary, you pureed and added the corn to the primary. Did you leave the corn behind (i.e. dispose of the corn) upon transfer to secondary? Thanks!
Brewed!

Ended up leaving corn remains in the primary - very pleased with beer. Brewing it again soon, just in time for the summer!
