Notes

This is a beer created from modifying a couple recipes. Popcorn is grown locally around here and is easily accessible.

Popcorn:
Popcorn doesn't release sugar until it reaches a temperature higher than your mash, which means it has to be pre-cooked before actually entering it with the rest of the grain. To do this, grind your sugar using your grain grinder. Popcorn is significantly harder, so make sure your grinder is up to the task. Take the ground popcorn in a 6 quart pan, fill with water at least an inch over the popcorn and bring to a boil. Once boiling stir constantly so it doesn't burn on the bottom, boil for 30 minutes. Add to Mash.
