Corn for Brewing & Distilling

Brewing Corn Grits & Corn Flour for Australian Breweries

Kondos Mills is a leading corn adjunct supplier to breweries and distilleries across Australia. Our brewing corn grits are purpose-milled from 100% Australian-grown yellow dent maize at our SQF-certified facilities in Darlington Point and Hay, NSW. We understand the critical role that corn plays as an adjunct grain in the brewing process, and we mill our grits to meet the precise specifications your brewhouse demands.

Corn has been used as an adjunct in brewing for well over a century. In the mashing process, brewers add corn grits to the cereal cooker where they are gelatinised before being combined with the main malt mash. This process converts the corn starch into fermentable sugars that yeast can convert to alcohol. The result is a lighter-bodied, crisper beer with improved clarity and a clean, neutral flavour profile — characteristics highly valued in lagers, light ales, cream ales, and many popular Australian beer styles.

Why Brewers Choose Kondos Corn Grits

Consistency is paramount in brewing. Batch-to-batch variation in your corn adjunct can lead to unpredictable mash temperatures, inconsistent extract yields, and off-flavours that compromise your final product. As a specialist corn adjunct supplier, Kondos delivers brewing corn grits with tightly controlled particle size distribution, moisture content, and starch quality. Our milling process ensures uniform gelatinisation characteristics, giving you repeatable results in every brew.

We offer brewing corn grits in multiple particle sizes to suit different brewing systems and processes. Coarse grits (1.0–2.0mm) are ideal for traditional cereal cooking in larger brewhouses, while medium and fine grinds suit smaller craft breweries and direct-infusion mashing techniques. Our team works with your head brewer to identify the optimal grind specification for your system and beer styles.

Corn for Australian Distilleries

Beyond brewing, corn is a primary grain for whiskey and bourbon production. Australian craft distilleries are increasingly turning to locally sourced corn to create authentic bourbon-style spirits with genuine Australian provenance. Kondos supplies distillery-grade corn grits and maize flour to distillers who need a reliable, traceable, Australian-grown grain bill. Our corn delivers excellent starch conversion rates and a smooth, sweet character in the finished spirit.
