Yes, you can possibly use canned corn, but it's an impossibly expensive option in the quantities that you'll need. Also, the salt content has a negative effect on the yeast if there's a high quantity in your canned corn (canned vegetables have a notoriously high salt content). If you have a few hundred pounds of it just lying around, though, it will suffice. You will still need the malt to convert the starches in the corn to fermentable sugars. You can get malt at any home brewing supplier...you will essentially be making beer anyway, just with corn as a primary ingredient and without hops.
Read up on beer brewing for the mash portion, and then read lots on distilling and how that works...it's not as simple as you might think.

I think you'll find troubles using canned corn. I don't know for sure but I don't think it will work. The mashing process corn goes through to activate enzymes so fermentation will give you the greatest yield is very different than what corn goes through to be eaten. As for this and finding barley & malt, ask any homebrew or wine making shops. They are the experts. Good for you for thinking outside the box and trying to make your own fuel though. Best of luck.

NO you can't use canned corn, what you want is corn meal, corn malt, sugar, yeast and then you experiment with different flavors like honey, molasses or vanilla. let mash ferment for 10 days and this important for high level hooch cook still as close to 172 degrees. If you need help or advice email me.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU6Ft
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Canned foods often have sulphites in them as a preservative. These preservatives will prevent fermentation, which is the first step in distilling.
