Haven't tried this yet � got the recipe on the Internet and put it in my cookbook.
5 lb dried white corn 2 gallons water 1� cups brown sugar 2 dried orange peels 3 cinnamon sticks 1 tsp ground cloves Oven-roast the corn at 300�F until it is light brown, stirring it frequently.
Grind the browned corn (coarse) in a food-chopper or in small quantities in a blender.
Wash the corn in several rinses, using clean water each time.
Discard the hulls.
Put the ground corn in a crock and stir-in the water and the other ingredients.
Cover the crock and let it sit in a barely warm place for five or six days or until the mash has fermented.
Strain the mash through cheesecloth and serve the liquor.
"Good enough" isn't.
Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.

I have never made corn beer but tried some once long ago. At least that was what my friend said it was.
To co-opt an old phrase you can drink it but it tastes like s**t.

Ken, You stir old memories of an anthropology class with John Kennedy, a student of the Tarahumara. The tesguinado events were described in rich memorable detail. He did not provide a detailed recipe, so you have filled a blank space in my old class notes. Thank you. Regards from Darkest California, Ross
