Content: Sprouting the Corn and Making the Mash
Sprouting kernel corn is a simple matter of getting it wet and allowing small sprouts to grow. Once the corn is sprouted, it's ready to be made into a mash. A mash is a combination of warm water and grain. The enzymes in the mash break down the starch in the grain and produce sugar. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/c2\/Make-Whiskey-Step-1.jpg\/v4-460px-Make-Whiskey-Step-1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/c2\/Make-Whiskey-Step-1.jpg\/aid1393380-v4-728px-Make-Whiskey-Step-1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Start the sprouting process by soaking the corn with warm water. Place 10 lbs. ( 4.5 kg) of untreated kernel corn in a burlap sack and place that burlap sack in a larger bucket or container. Then, saturate the burlap sack with warm water. Make sure the corn is completely and evenly soaked.
