My Uncle Joe was visiting yesterday and we were discussing old varieties of veggies that have dissapeared.
He says that his father...my grandfather, made beer with corn.They called it Corn Beer of course.
He remembers that the kernals were quite large...bigger than the usual size,and he thinks he remembers that they were white.
As this was back in the 40's,the sweet corns that we know today were not around yet,and they used common field corn for most of their purposes. He says that this corn was different...much bigger than what they commonly used.
The beer that was produced tasted like 'hard cider'and we no longer have the recipe.
I'd love to see if there were something similar out there that some of your relatives remember.This was in Western Kentucky,so there may be common threads among some of you in the area.
