I am surrounded by wild walnut trees ... so can I make a walnut pop? (I am describing it as pop instead of beer so that I do not insult anyone by calling a nut concoction a beer!)
I want to ferment a walnut porridge - I do not want to include anything else like hops or malted things. However, to get a treacly bitter beer like flavour I am inclined to add chicory leaves for a wonderful bitterness, plus roasted chicory root for a coffee/toffee note, and baking the porridge to a brown mash.
Any suggestions will be gladly received but be aware that I am looking to make a pop from baked walnut porridge, chicory leaves and roasted roots, and fermented with a fruit yeast water.
I think I will certainly get an alcoholic brew - I am not after high alcohol content (hence the yeast water which might give up to 4%abv).
Is this madness, or can this kid play with mud?
