"Cock Ale"

[corby_brewer]

Im watching this with great interest now. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Just a thought, but you could you do the same with a leg of lamb? Or any other type of bone from meat? Or is it limited to foul?

Thinking about it. I have heard about some scrumpy being made and them throwing a whole ham in, and once the meat comes off, the cider is ready!

Dunno whether that is one for the tourists but there could be something in it... :hmm:

Keep it going TS :clap:

hows it coming along TS

Funny you should ask
This is how it looked at the end of fermentation

Gravity down to 1.010

Two gallons transferred to plastic demijohns to clear

The bag of bones and yeast cake

Some beer smelling chicken bones :lol:

Let us know when your DJs start going Cocka-a-doodle-doo in the mornings!

I cant believe you actually made that. You should be awarded the home brewing equivalent of the victoria cross.

Sir, I salute you! :thumb:

What I forgot to mention was that I had a little sample from the trial jar and although more than a little yeasty it tastes promising :thumb:

Labels ready :thumb:

[evanvine]

WOW TS you actualy steeled yourself to taste it!
I'm proud of you my son.

 

[Muddydisco]

Really if you asked your local barmaid for that you'd get a slap!!!
Still nice though :thumb:

Here we are boys and girls, 16 bottles of "Sup My Cock"

It will be unleashed onto a (mainly) unsuspecting public at a party on the 19th Dec :grin:
I've had another taster from the fermenter whilst bottling and the vinous flavour of the wine is starting to show through
It is promising to be a very nice beer surprisingly :hmm:

 

[corby_brewer]

Nice looking beer you have there Mr Shaw :thumb:

 

[evanvine]

Don't they look great lined up like that!

 

[jamesb]

Now... would that be a flock, a brood or a peep of bottles?

 

[evanvine]

What about a Bevy of bottles?

 

[tubby_shaw]

Ok so it's only been in the bottle for 6 days but I had to know

As you may be able to tell from the above picture it's not fully carbonated yet
There is a pleasant slight aroma of Sherry and liquorice :)
The taste I hope will develop, at the moment it is very sweet from the unconverted primings
There is some liquorice in the taste and the hop bitterness comes in very late :wha:

Let's see how it develops
But on the plus side it's not toxic or nasty and it'll only improve

i must admit Mr Shaw it does look like a nice pint :thumb:
