> Also Chicha is the wonderful spit based corn beer. The yeast probably won't be missed. I was curious what you meant by this, from Wikipedia: > In some cultures, instead of germinating the maize to release the starches therein, the maize is ground, moistened by saliva in the chicha maker's mouth, and formed into small balls, which are then flattened and laid out to dry.[10] Naturally occurring ptyalin enzymes in the maker's saliva catalyses the breakdown of starch in the maize into maltose.
