Nixtamalized beer
-
Most beer has starches from grain and corn, would making beer from nixtamalized corn improve upon this healthwise? As nixtamalized corn is Peaty.

@PUFADestroyerPPO It could work. But it might be unnecessary. Sticking to distilled spirits is the solution as distilling removes any leftover starch.
Personally, I'll be staying with mead, tequila, and rum.
She Peat on my noosphere till I generate energy.

How is it unnecessary? Sure, we could drink vodka etc, but beer is a quite different taste (which i quite enjoy) and if i could enjoy it with less harmful effect that would be awesome.

@PUFADestroyerPPO I misspoke if you like beer I would say give it a try. I would be curious about your result. Nixtamalizing changes the flavor to a more earthy flavor. Not sure how that would turn out in the final product.

@CheesedToPeatYou I think it is worth a try, @Terminator wanted me to try it too.
I have no experience brewing beer/alcohol though, maybe someone that is viewing this thread does?

They already nitixamilzed beer. It’s called a Corona with lime and salt.

@Nvrprogsteralone It tastes nice yea, although I doubt its nixtamalized lmao

i doubt you can still sprout the grains after nixtamalizing, sprouting is the stage where the enzymes turn the starches into the malt sugars for the yeast. they do that with just water, so when you rinse off the lime you'll lose the sugars you wanted to begin with.
what you can easily do, is replace the grain sugars with white sugar and molasses. and then while you're at it bitter it with something that's not hops, like tea, pine, yarrow, mugwort, birch leaves, magic mushrooms etc.. woody flavours work well too (boil the shit out of some nice branches).
my best brew was coconut nectar (much like molasses), white sugar, sweetfern, jack pine, and white button and reishi mushrooms, with a british ale yeast.
without the molasses you end up with something more like a cider.
