BEST ANSWER:Exogenous enzymes can be used to convert starches if insufficient Diastatic Power/Potential exists in the grist. The question is what percentage of the grain bill does the maize constitute, and what other grains are in the bill at what percentages. I can't remember exactly what DP number is required from a diastatic grain to convert an equal amount of adjunct grain, off the top of my head I'd guess around 50 or so, but most base malts under 10* L have sufficient DP to do the job. Interestingly some wheat malts have a higher DP than 2 row barley, Briess 2 row Brewers malt is 140* while their White wheat is 160* and Red wheat malt is 180*.

Probably the best way would be to use Amylase enzymes. You could also make Chica Beer by chewing mouthfuls of the corn, spitting it out and relying on the enzymes in your saliva. This as an ancient Central/South American beer that Dogfish Head brewed several years ago.
There are a number of exogenous enzymes available which may work in lieu of mashing with grain that has sufficient diastatic capacity. I am at a loss though as to why one would want to do so.
You can add enzymes to the mash (which Morebeer and many other stores sell), which do essentially the same thing that the enzymes contained in barley do.
Yes, all flaked adjuncts contain gelatinized starch due to the process in making it. It is steam treated and then rolled between hot rollers. I’ve found this particular one to fall right in line with beer Smith’s stock profile. Don’t mill, add right to mash. Corn gelatinizes at 143.5° to 165° F if it is a concern for you.
Its already gone through the gelatinization process making the starch accessible for further breakdown into more simple sugars; meaning you still need to mash it to convert the corn starch to fermentable sugars.
BEST ANSWER:Flaked corn is not malted. It has been gelatinized and rolled so that it is ready for starch extraction. Flaked corn does not have the enzymes need to breakdown the starches so, you need malted grains with it in the mash.

No. It is not malted in the sense that germinating Barley is malted. However, it is a natural starch that converts to sugar in the mash. It adds corn sugar to the wort. You could just add some processed corn sugar to the wort for a sweet corn addition but Flaked Maize is a more natural and less processed way of adding sweetness and fermentible sugar to your beer. It is appropriate for American Light Lagers and Cream Ales. The grain bills for most commercial American Light Lagers includes corn or rice.

It was really easy to use just threw it in with the grain. I was trying to get a lighter color which worked but I ended up lighter than I wanted. Recommend not only using it with 2 row. I would add some 6 row or crystal maybe Munich.
It's flaked corn and I love it. i'll buy more once I use all of this stuff up. Top notch stuff. Midwest grown? Would have given it 5 stars if it were certified organic and not some Monsanto genetically modified stuff.
is the name of the pre-prohibition style lager I brew with these as adjunct. It is delicious. I throw these directly into the mash, bypassing my mill. Utilization is pretty much a match to what beersmith predicts.
