0:00.0	Barley is the cereal grain most associated with brewing, though it's certainly not the only one.
0:15.3	There are a number of other grains often used to make beer.
0:17.9	As anyone who has made an oatmeal stout, a hazy IPA, or a creamail is very well aware. You're listening to the Brewlossophy podcast. I'm your host, Marshall Schott. Today I'm joined by contributor Jordan Folks to talk about one of the more common adjunct grains, corn. It seems that there's a time in a brewer's career that they get really interested in adjuncts. And I think I'm having
0:38.2	a bit of a honeymoon with them yet again. It's so fun to play around with other things beyond
0:42.6	Pilsner and you can make some really characterful beers. And corn is definitely one of my favorite
0:47.3	adjuncts. Oh, without a doubt. And as is the case for so many things in brewing, corn also
0:52.8	comes in various forms. and many believe this has a
0:56.9	noticeable impact on the characteristics that the corn actually imparts to the beer. I've certainly
1:02.2	used my fair share of corn, mostly in the form of flaked maize, though I've also had success
1:06.5	using corn grits. One of the things that I've yet to use is malted corn, so I'm curious to learn more
1:12.9	about this unique ingredient with you today, Jordan. Now, if you're a fan of this show and you'd
