Corn is a cereal grain that can be used as an adjunct in beer.

Corn starch gelatinizes at (73-79°C vs 60-75°C?). However, corn flakes and corn meal are typically gelatinized during production and can be added to a mash without further pre-treatment.[1][2] The extract content from corn is about the same as for barley malt.

Corn contains a lot of oil that is typically removed during processing to produce flakes or grits.
