A side note on fermented corn. Back in the day it was not unusual for bootleggers to have some hogs to conceal the smell of the mash. One lady bootlegger did that 2-3 miles from me at one time. The story is that the mash had enough alcohol remaining it it to makes the pigs stagger around after eating it.
