It didn't work for me.... worse beer I ever made with chillies.Mmm. Curry flavoured beer. Now there's a thought. Kill two birds with one stone.
I've been experimenting with brewing chili beer - so far I've been very pleased with the result.It didn't work for me.... worse beer I ever made with chillies.
What did you do and what didn't you like? I'm formulating a chicken vindaloo lager as we speak. Found an old recipe for cock ale that looks promising.It didn't work for me.... worse beer I ever made with chillies.
That sounds utterly, utterly, disgusting. But I am strangely intrigued..... Do it, do it, do it!What did you do and what didn't you like? I'm formulating a chicken vindaloo lager as we speak. Found an old recipe for cock ale that looks promising.
Edit. Here it is.
Take ten gallons of ale, and a large cock, the older the better; parboil the cock, flay him, and stamp him in a stone mortar till his bones are broken (you must craw and gut him when you flay him); then put the cock into two quarts of sack, and put it to three pounds of raisins of the sun stoned, some blades of mace, and a few cloves; put all these into a canvas bag, and a little before you find the ale has done working.
put the ale and bag together into a vessel; in a week or nine days time bottle it up; fill the bottle but just above the neck, and give the same time to ripen as other ale.[3]
Now all we need is a bouquet garni from the Star of India.
I see my moment of folly means I've got to put my money where my mouth is. Right, we're on, but I'm certainly not going to do a ten-gallon batch. Not to start with, anyway.That sounds utterly, utterly, disgusting. But I am strangely intrigued..... Do it, do it, do it!
