Anyone ever made Quinoa beer?

[Mongrel]

Quinoa is quite possibly the food that could save billions from starvation being very protein rich and vitamin rich, but I am not sure it'd add much to beer. Maybe a bit of nutty flavor? I love quinoa.

Quinoa soup is fantastic, but unfortunately, the growing popularity of quinoa has increased its price in Bolivia to the point where the locals can no longer afford it. Quinoa was a staple of their diets, so it's sad to see it all go to the export market.

When I went to this year's Southern California Homebrew Festival, I tried a Spelt Quinoa Saison at one of the booths. It was pretty darn tasty!

Wish I could help on the recipe, but it wasn't mine (nor from my club). But making a good beer with it is definitely doable.

"What the hell is quee-no?"

"Is that a loofah?!"

That's probably one of the funniest Bud Light commercials on this football season. If anyone makes a quinoa beer, we could do an HBT-version spoof commercial: "What the hell is he brewing?!" "I don't know, but it tastes like a dirty tree branch."

Homebrew recipe creation: it's only weird if it doesn't work.
