[bigbob]

Hi guys,
Ive read that chickpeas can be brewed into a wine similar to saki, has anyone seena recipe for this anywhere? Ive done some trawling and cant find one anywhwere! Was hoping that one of you guys might have one in the depths of your brewing libraries.

Really?

I'd have thought their relatively high protein levels would cause haze and clearing issues.... Better of making some humous with chickpeas!

I assume some sort of mash will be required to liberate fermentable sugars out of the starchy chick pea, but no idea how you'd do that as I'm not sure where the enzymes to do that would come from...

Good luck with the experiment if you find a recipe...

Let us know how you get on

Well after much searching I did find a recipe and it was wonderful, total time from preparation to consumption 1 day............and the falafel was lovely!

If anyone does stumble upon a recipe for a chickpea brew it would be much appreciated.

I do indeed, it is a lovely snack and the best part is, its totally vegetarian.....im not vegetarian in the slightest but do worry about mean hygeine when cooking pissed as a fart

Amylase should do it I'd have thought. Either in pure compound form or you could use the..eh..."traditional sake method". Chew up and spit into fv...

Chickpea is on my maybe-one-day list, as a base fora gluten-free ale. But I'll be malting it.
