I had an idea for a beer containing beets, potatoes, and sweet potatoes because of an awful pun I thought of. But when I went to the home brew store they didn't have 6 row malt so I ended up just getting 2 row. While I could have gone to a different home brew store, they're all at least an half hour away from where I live, making it pretty impractical.
So what I'm wondering is if there's another way to ensure the conversion. I've read online that putting potatoes in the refrigerator causes the starches to convert to sugar, would that work? I've also read about using Beano or banana peels? Or will the sweet potatoes make up for the lack of enzymes in the regular potatoes?
It's a small batch, I'm using 3 pounds of 2 row, 5 pounds of potatoes, 3 lbs of sweet potatoes, and however much two beets weigh.
