Has anyone brewed with black beans? Are they fermentable?
As I see it, there are two ways to find out... scour the internets for someone who's done it before, or make a starter and drop some pre-boiled and perhaps mashed black beans into it.
The reason why I ask, is that I wanted to add some to a Chica recipe...I scoured the internet for days with no results...but I was able to find articles on how to sprout black beans (similar to barley and corn), so I think I might go this route and try to malt some black beans.
You might be able to do a cereal mash with them, and then add them to your main mash.

I'm sure that they are fermentable...the question then become, what kind of beer recipe will you put them in. I used a few modified Chicha recipes, but never truly came up with one that I was in love with. Happy experimenting!
