I doubt it's been tried before, but I'm investigating the feasibility of fermenting something drinkable from coffee berries.
My girlfriend's family grows coffee, and they're looking for something constructive and creative to do with the berries that contain the coffee beans. Currently the berries get turfed after the beans are extracted.
Seeking help devising a recipe - mainly finding a suitable yeast - but I also think it will need to be mixed with something that will dilute the caffeine content (the berries themselves are full of caffeine and I don't want to give myself a heart attack by drinking the stuff) and also bulk up the fermentable sugars. Ideas appreciated.
