Bozo and maksym are Kyrgyz cereal drinks soured by lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. For bozo, millet porridge is cooked, mashed with barley malt so the starch turns to sugar, fermented for about a day and strained; the authors' earlier bozo had about 4 % alcohol. Maksym is made from roasted, milled wheat or barley cooked in water and fermented with a starter. The steps and numbers in the main process are from studies of bozo; the maksym process is in its variant.

Recipe
Amounts from a sourceThe amounts are from lab studies of bozo; traditional bozo is made by experience at home and in crafts enterprises. The maksym recipe is given in its variant.
Millet flour
Cooked to a porridge; in one lab method 70 g of flour went into 500 g of water[iskakova2019]
Ground barley malt15 % of the porridge weight (w/w), in one study
The source of the enzymes that turn starch to sugar; barley malt had the highest α-amylase activity of the barley, wheat, millet and maize malts tested[iskakova2019][iskakova2017]
Starter of yeast and lactic acid bacteria
Saccharomyces cerevisiae with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Pediococcus parvulus and Lacticaseibacillus casei in the study[iskakova2019]
Starter
backslop (maksym: 2 % w/v of the previous batch) or a mixed starter of yeast and lactic acid bacteria (the bozo study)

Bozo and maksym are Kyrgyz cereal drinks soured by lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. For bozo, millet porridge is cooked, mashed with barley malt so the starch turns to sugar, fermented for about a day and strained; the authors' earlier bozo had about 4 % alcohol. Maksym is made from roasted, milled wheat or barley cooked in water and fermented with a starter. The steps and numbers in the main process are from studies of bozo; the maksym process is in its variant. Made in 5 steps over 9 days. The longest step, malt the barley, takes up to 8 days (Iskakova J 2019) and runs at 20–22 °C (Iskakova J 2019). Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Pediococcus parvulus and Lacticaseibacillus casei do most of the fermenting.
Kyrgyz bozo is mashed with barley malt, so the malt's enzymes turn the millet starch to sugar before it ferments. Maksym needs no malt; it is a roasted, milled-grain gruel soured by a starter.
Maksym (максым)Roasted and milled wheat, barley or maize (talkan, roasted at 170–180 °C) is boiled in water (1:30 w/w) until the starch gelatinises, with roasted wheat flour and mutton fat for body. After about 50 min of boiling it cools to 25–30 °C, 2 % (w/v) of the previous batch is added, and it ferments for 12–14 h at 25–30 °C before cold storage. Methods differ by region.
JarmaA cold Kyrgyz grain drink. Wikipedia says it is not fermented and is often mixed with ayran; the 2023 maksym paper lists jarma among cereal beverages made by lactic fermentation.
Safety
Neither study counted pathogens. Bozo was stored at 4–6 °C and tested at 7, 14 and 21 days, and the authors note that fridge storage does not stop microbial growth. A maksym bought in Bishkek had pH 3.68, falling to 3.62 after 21 days at 5 °C, and its lactic acid bacteria and yeast counts fell by about 2 log units; the producer guaranteed 30 days, but the sour taste scored lowest at day 21. Bozo is classed as mild or strong by its ethanol content, and the authors' earlier bozo had 4 % alcohol by volume.
Bozo is drunk across Central Asia and in China and is made at home in villages and in crafts enterprises by experience (Iskakova 2019). Maksym was traditionally made in every household in summer and drunk chilled; the paper links such long-keeping foods to the nomadic Kyrgyz way of life. The company Shoro later sold it as a commercial product, and many enterprises now make it (Iskakova and Smanalieva 2023).
