"Cock Ale"

[tubby_shaw]

Stop it :nono:
You all have dirty filthy minds, yes you know what you were thinking :lol:

But I have a book that contains this recipe,

Basically a roast chicken carcass is chopped up and soaked in white wine for a few days and then the wine and carcass are added to a fermenting 1.050 OG beer :grin:
I'm going to adapt the recipe to all grain instead of malt extract and sugar
So on Wednesday I'll be giving it a go, I'll be having a small ready roasted chicken for lunch tomorrow so that the carcass can soak in Wurzels orange wine for a couple of days :shock:
Stay tuned folks :thumb:

I've got a recipe for it too. But I've hidden it so that I'm never tempted to bring it to life. :sick:

Imagine the head retention on that baby.

I assume that this beer is not meant for longish term storage, I'd have thought that some of the oils from the chicken could go rancid.

 

[tubby_shaw]

Don't know, will the 48 to 72 hours soak in white wine break down the oils :wha:
We'll find out though :grin:

 

[evanvine]

is the chicken cooked or fresh?

I'm certainly keen to hear the comments on this brew come sampling time!

 

[jamesb]

I think other people should try it as well. Come on... don't be chicken. I'm sure it won't taste fowl. You should at least make a poultry effort towards it. You'd be bird brained not to...






























I'll get my coat.

 

[evanvine]

Is that an example of "Blog"?

 

[31bb3]

adds a whole new meaning to cock au vin LOL :lol:

 

[jonewer]

My god that sounds absolutely disgusting!

 

[commsbiff]

I'm really pleased that someone's got the balls (not cock) to take the plunge on this type of thing. TS, you have an audience :thumb:

Remember seeing this one in a book in 70s, was tempted to brew it then give some to Emlyn an ale loving veggie mate.

 

[brewzone]

One recipe for this that I saw in an 80's brewing book from Boots basically used a raw chicken that was pulverised to smash all the bones and then deftly thrown in raw.

I am sure this was something that is supposed to have been done when making cider too.

Never dared try it though!
