I've done cereal mashes before with rice; I know how that works. I want to try brewing with cornstarch. Can it be added directly to the mash or does it need to be cooked first? If it needs to be cooked, is a gallon of water enough to gel a pound of starch? I will add a handful of malt and heat it slowly from 150° to 160° before bringing it to a simmer. But it would be a whole lot easier to just stir it dry into the mash if that is hot enough to work.
I have found this question asked before and it didn't get answered. I opened a new thread instead of necro'ing the old one.
