How To Make Alcohol From Cornflakes (5% Lager)

How To Make Alcohol From Cornflakes (5% Lager) 🥣🍺 Can you turn breakfast cereal into a premium Mexican-style lager? Today in the Lab, we are brewing the "Corn-Star"—a high-adjunct lager engineered for the Pinter 3 using a specialized maize-milk extraction. We’re pushing the boundaries of budget brewing by using £0.48 worth of cornflakes to mimic the crisp, refreshing profile of world-class lagers. However, I ran into a major clarity issue with this batch. Stick around to the end to see the "Lesson Learned" so you can get a crystal-clear result on your first try. 👉 DOWNLOAD THE FULL LAB SHEET: https://buymeacoffee.com/rainfordsbrewlab/e/535369 (Includes scaling for 1L, 2L, 5L, and 23L batches + cost breakdown) 🔬 THE "LESSON LEARNED" (Don't Skip This!) This brew tasted incredible, but it didn't clear properly because of the solids left in the Pinter 3. If I did this again, I would: Strain Everything: Sieve the "maize milk" through a muslin cloth before it ever hits the fermenter. Secondary Transfer: Ferment completely in a demijohn/5L fermenter first, then pour into the Pinter 3. Prime for Clarity: Add your carbonation sugar directly to the Pinter 3 after removing all solids for a clearer, professional-looking lager. 🍺 More Budget Brews The 22p Tea Wine: https://youtu.be/0_3dHrxUkGo Hard Lemon Soda (Viral Hack): https://youtu.be/roJtSrDIJ1w Equipment & Consumables I Use Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
