Less corn needs to be used. I think a better amount would be 1 lbs.

A "corny" beer!

2008-06-10 2:38pm

This beer turned out a little sweet. It has an incredible corn taste to it. However, I would suggest putting in at least one more ounce of bittering hops. I plan to dry hop this beer in the kegs. As of today, June 10, 2008 the beer has cleared out very well and is still in the secondary carboys. It is sitting in the cellar at aproximately 52 degrees. We have tapped one keg July 27, 2008. The corn flavor has backed off a bit. With the carbonation this beer turned out great.
