Pea Beer/Wine

[IJesusChrist]

Stroke of insight hit me - peas are mostly starch and sugar. Has anyone ever heard of a wine or beer used purely from peas?

I've seen "Pea pod wine" - where they only use the pods to flavor it, but that's kind of lame. What if you use fresh peas and some adjuncts to break down the carbs & ferment?

Peas are sometimes used in Lithuanian farmhouse style beers, though its not 100% peas, more like 10-20%.

I wrote you a haiku to express how I feel about this:

I really hate peas.
Peas are little balls of hell.
Don't use them in beer.

I had a liquor (highly prized) in China. It was called XiFung- tasted like jet fuel!

I read this, it never has a >50% pea ratio though.

You have not had fresh peas. Peas from the store are nothing like off the vine!!

considering all of us know the lengths to which many people would go to in order to catch a buzz, if peas made an even slightly palatable alcoholic beverage, it would be common knowledge.

but now you have brought it up, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to carry out experiments on it.

because SCIENCE!

Actually, I lived for about 5 years on a farm when I was a kid. I hated peas then and hate them now (fresh or canned).

The only ones that are passable are the dried wasabi ones they sell at Asian grocery stores.

You're a terrible person.

I am not going to ferment store-bought peas. That is like asking someone to make pea-beer out of store bought peas.

I remember reading in a book about historic brewing in America that peas where actually a common ingredient back in colonial times, something to look into

Interesting, I had a similar thought recently while chewing on a very sweet, grilled bell pepper.

Why would you want to make anything out of urine???

An apt metaphor if I ever heard one.

Pretty extreme. Do you owe your livelihood to peas or something?

Ya seriously, calm down about the peas. They're peas.

You gave this thought but had no source of fresh peas and then brought it to the forum? You MUST find a source and do this or be ejected from the forum, I would think it wouldn't be too hard with your screen name and all

The reason I gave it much thought is where I grew up always has plenty of peas. I've moved to college, and can't do it. Upon moving back, I surely will. In the meantime, the forum lays responsible to carry out my award-winning ideas at all cost.
