I'm serious.
Traditional chicha is made through saliva conversion of cornstarch to sugar.... The maize flour is slightly moistened with water, rolled into a small ball, and placed in the mouth.... the ptyalin [enzyme in the mouth] converts the cornstarch to sugar.

'Thou, my golden-breasted marten,
Thou my son of golden color,
Haste thou whither I may send thee,
To the bear-dens of the mountain,
To the grottoes of the growler,
Gather yeast upon thy fingers,
Gather foam from lips of anger,
From the lips of bears in battle,
Bring it to the hands of Kapo,
To the hands of Osmo's daughter.'
"Then the marten golden-breasted,
Full consenting, hastened onward,
Quickly bounding on his journey,
Lightly leaping through the distance
Leaping o'er the widest rivers,
Leaping over rocky fissures,
To the bear-dens of the mountain,
To the grottoes of the growler,
Where the wild-bears fight each other,
Where they pass a dread existence,
Iron rocks, their softest pillows,
In the fastnesses of mountains;
From their lips the foam was dripping,
From their tongues the froth of anger;
This the marten deftly gathered,
Brought it to the maiden, Kapo,
Laid it in her dainty fingers.
"Osmotar, the beer-preparer,
Brewer of the beer of barley,
Used the beer-foam as a ferment;
But it brought no effervescence,
Did not make the liquor sparkle.
The Kalevala
I once used to prison visit a friend from university who had fallen by the wayside...he told me there was a generous supply of beer in prison....All you needed, he said, was old bread, orange juice, and spit... he told me that if you wanted to do it in a decent batch you needed to mix yours with everybody else's.

So, anyone tried this? Bear spit beer sounds especially hard core.
No, I'm not planning to ...
