Hmmm beans do have a decent bit of carbs in them so hypothetically there should be an enzyme to convert those into sugars. Only one way to find out lol

Honestly it works. I find that even without sanitization adding in good yeast results in good results most of the time lol. And funny enough tomato is on my list (but for beer, I’ve just been in a distilling mood lately). I also want to do Carmelized onions in a beer but that’s neither here nor there lol
If you got any ideas I’ll be glad to add it to the list. I’ve got a bit of a backlog of stuff to try but with winter coming besides the holidays there won’t be much to do than brew!
That’s fantastic! The lemon one sounds like a lot of work, but I might have to add something similar to it on my list, because I love sour. And oooh, I do love pineapples. I appreciate the knowledge share here. And hey if brining it and seeing what happens works then that’s the best approach :)
They weren’t but they are now lmfao
Yeah, that’s what got me into trying stupid stuff. All the research I did on watermelon said it doesn’t turn out. I made a brandy that easily topped my list of things I made. Did you by chance boil it? As an originally beer brewer it’s ingrained, but I think that’s what kills off watermelon flavor fast. At least from my one attempt at it that was a raging success.
And yeah, spam won’t ferment, unless there’s some enzyme that turns proteins into fermentable sugars, but I plan on macerating spam in a still during a run, I’m curious what flavors, if any, come through. It goes back to an old joke my buddy and I had in the woods ages ago where we drank vodka out of a “spamteen” (can of spam cut out to hold a shot of liquor, it was horrible)
I grow my own basil, so definitely have access to those :)
Oh yeah from the smell and taste of the mash it tastes almost exactly like a corn/cream ale I made ages ago, but it’s always worth a shot
Yesss! Let me know how it goes! I ended up following a post on Facebook about a dude who reduced orange soda into a syrup and used it for a beer. As it was a more… traditional, group everyone was horrified. Apparently it turned out super awesome. Love the creativity and I’m curious about how your adventure turns out :)
Yeah, that’s basically the thought behind the spinach and random herb idea I have, probably will be awful for drinking but thankfully I also cook daily so at worst I can use it to infuse some flavor into a dish lol
Oh man, the key is gummy bears! I got a giant gummy bear (1 pound/0.45kg or so) once and soaked it in vodka. The bear was so big the alcohol barely penetrated through it, but the vodka it was soaking in was delicious, if you have a sweet tooth. The skittles colored vomit however doesn’t sound like the best of times though lol. Learning experiences are priceless though 😅
Oh man that’s a shame! I actually really wanted to try a maple syrup fermentation too, but the whole cost of syrup (or even honey) is what always put me off the idea.
