Brewing With Polenta

[BjornJ]

This beer has been in the fermenter for a week now, has cleared and starting to look ok.
Will leave it another week before transferring to my cube.
Ended up using two large boxes of Kellogs corn flakes (500 gr total) as well as the instant-polenta.
28 litres at 1.042 and low bittering IBU 17.3 so aiming for an easy drinking "corn ale", hehe.

Today after 2 weeks in the primary, I siphoned it off to a cube.

FG: 1.014 (from an OG of 1.042) so abv should be 3.6% plus bottle conditioning so should end at 4.1%.


It was VERY clear in the hydrometer tube, tasted like a light and refreshing summer ale should!

tried tasting for any hint of corn or polenta, but I was unable to taste anything "funny".
Will wait and see how it is after carbonation and a couple of months on the bottle, but this is looking good so far!
