Flaked corn, also known as maize, is a classic brewing and distilling ingredient used to lighten body, increase fermentable sugars, and create smooth, clean flavor in beer and whiskey mash. Our TAPCRAFT Flaked Corn is pre-gelatinized, meaning it can be added directly to your mash without needing to cook the grain first. This makes it an incredibly convenient ingredient for home brewers and distillers looking to boost efficiency and fermentability. In brewing, flaked corn helps produce crisp, refreshing beers like American lagers, cream ales, and light ales. In distilling, it is the foundation of traditional whiskey mash bills, providing the fermentable sugars that create smooth, sweet spirit character. Because the corn is rolled and gelatinized during processing, enzymes from malted grains can immediately convert its starches into sugars during the mash. This makes it perfect for both beer recipes and whiskey fermentation kits. Whether you are crafting a classic American lager or building your own whiskey mash, flaked corn is one of the most versatile adjuncts in brewing and distilling.
