How about turning the job around...

Burn the corn to produce heat for the destructive distillation of the
cellulose in the cobs and stalks into methanol. No problem with the
revenuers
since drinking methanol is a self limiting addiction, no bloody great
fermenting vessels and no smelly residues to get rid of. Would it work?

From what I've read, it takes a special enzyme to convert cellulose into the
sugar needed. That enzyme is available, but not to the general public. I've
heard that in the next 10 years or so, we'll be making alcohol from switch
grass instead of corn.
