A low‑ABV, sour millet beer produced by spontaneous fermentation in the Sahel.
Origin: Sahelian peoples (Traditional) — Sahel, West Africa
See full technique reference →Bush‑fermented millet beer is a spontaneous, ambient‑temperature fermentation that relies on the natural microbiota of the Sahelian environment. The process converts millet starch to sugars via endogenous amylases, then to ethanol and lactic acid by wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria, producing a low‑ABV, sour beverage integral to regional cultural practices.
