Ferulic acid is a precursor to 4-Ethylguaiacol, a compound responsible for a lot of traditional Brett character in beers. I was doing some reading (on wikipedia) and read that navy beans have the highest ferulic acid content of any beans. So this leads to my super dumb question: has anyone tried to increase the funkiness of a brett beer by adding ingredients that are high in ferulic acid other than barley? Such as flax seed, navy beans, Centaurium erythraea, etc.
