Fourth Of July BarBQue

The Fourth of July is just around the corner so it must mean it's time to get ready to crank up the BarBque grill and chill some beer. Here at the Bar B Que and Beers Blog we have a great mune put together that will please a broad range of palates. First on the list is:


Grilled Corn with Malt


Grab a bushel of fresh corn with the husks still attached. We want to soak the corn for at least in hour. I use a cooler to soak the corn in and you want something heavy like a pan to hold the corn down. While the corn is soaking start the coals.


Now if you are an avid homebrewer, as I am, grab a can of malt extract (avaiable at your local home brew supply). Once the corn has soaked for at least an hour pull it out and let it drip dry. With my cooler I just open the drain.




What we want to do now is peel back the husk and sprinkle with salt and pepper then we are going to slather some malt extract on to the corn. Not too much! Then cover the corn back up with the husk and throw it on the grill. I say let it grill about 10 to 15 minutes turning occasionally.

Don'y worry too much if the husk starts to burn, this is why we soaked then first. Just keep an eye out for flare ups.

Once the corn is done let rest for a few minutes then it's off with the husks and into the stomach!

Now if you can't find corn with the hush then you can always apply seasonings and malt and wrap with foil.
