Maca Root - Fermented Beer

[Guest guest]

Anybody have any experience fermenting Maca Root? Wiki says it

traditionally is fermented into a weak beer called 'chicha de maca'.

Wondering if you can do that with the powder or would I have to obtain

fresh maca some how.

I'm willing to bet it was made like the beer that they made out of

corn. They masticated cooked corn and spit it out after the enzymes

in saliva started to break down the starches. It would take some

experimenting and I don't think whole or fresh maca would be easy to

obtain.
