I was wondering if it's at all possible, if anyone's tried it and what the results were. Did you end up with a tasty blue beer?

I don't mean to use the corn as the base just stictly as an adjunct.

Corn is used to make beer, usually in addition to malted barley. Here is a recipe:

If it's edible, sombody has probably tried to brew with it. In the U.S. a lot of the beer is brewed with corn in an attempt to get alcohol at minimal cost. The result, IMHO, is minimal taste but some people like it. Just grind the blue corn with your specialty grains or with the base grains, if you're an all-grain brewer.
Don't count on blue beer though, unless you add some blue food color too.

Yes you can. It's doubtful that it's going to have much effect on the color or flavor if you're only using it as an adjunct. You might try using it as about 50% of your grain bill during the initial mash and allow extra time for starch conversion. Make sure your corn is well ground...though you're likely to end up with extra trub.

You would probably add some malted blue corn to your mash along with barley. Never heard of a corn beer though?

beer uses barley, hopes, malt,wheat. if you use corn it is then whiskey. and yes blue corn will ferment so yes it can be used.
