Or you could use Corn meal and do a cereal mash.
I did a cereal mash using corn meal and amylase enzyme. It was kinda a CAP recipe without the lager yeast. It came out nice after i changed it up a few times.

You don't want to use corn meal because the oily "germ" is still there. You want to use corn GRITS instead.

Corn grits will be a completely different flavor than corn meal. I have used corn meal and a lot of others have as well. i hav'nt had a problem with it. heres a video from Basic Brewing Videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilK0MqjLEQw
they did a cereal mash using organic corn meal.

No matter what type of corn you use you will need to add enzymes to the mash for conversion. AKA 6-row or amylase.
