Dogfish Head Brewery in Delaware made an interesting brew. The owner traveled to South America and drank a corn beer with natives. They made it by chewing dried corn, then spitting the mush into a fermentation pot. The enzymes in their spit converted the starch to sugar, and native yeast in the air, fermented it to alcohol.

The owner came back to his brewery and made all of his employees chew handfuls of dried corn and spit the mush in 5 gallon buckets around the brewery. When they had collected enough, they boiled it, and inoculated it with yeast, and made a commercial beer from it as a special edition.

You could try that. It’s jailhouse meets craft brewing, but it might work.
