Indian Corn (or Maize) in The Manufacture of Beer

In today's world of craft brewing, beer adjuncts like corn and rice have come to earn a bad name, as they have been seen as a way for the large, mega-brewers to cut costs by substituting cheaper ingredients, like rice and corn. Though the economics of large-scale brewing may make this true to some extent, a careful review of brewing history makes it clear that this was not always the case.This all-new, updated edition of this classic book explains that other grains, like corn for example-carefully selected and moderately used-could be counted upon to provide useful and specific advantages in brewing; modifying alcohol content, improving stability, and providing consistency in taste.
