		<description>In search for the most economical beer. I have heard that one can add rice to the mash (after it is steeped and fluffed up a little) and added to the grains. This should increase the specific gravity without a taste influence.

Also I was told that a quick light beer would be made by taking a box of corn flakes to 1 gal of water and mash. Adding hops and yeast to make a light beer as the corn flakes are malted. The cheaper the cereal the better as it is not as refined. 

Having tried both I found that an iodine test showed starch and did not convert in either brew.
I added enzymes to the corn flakes and it seemed to help some.
I hoped enzymes in the grain with the rice brew would convert the rice. This did not seem to work.

&gt;&gt;&gt; is there a way to use rice or corn and get it to convert from starch to sugar?
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Do you have any thoughts about this?

I will be trying my corn flake brew in a week. It seemed very weak or was that light, definitely cloudy.</description>
