Cock Ale

Post by crafty john » Thu Jul 16, 2009 8:47 am

I have just found this recepie in a book that a mate lent me

Cock Ale
500 grm malt extract
20 grm goldings hops
250 grm demerara sugar
280 ml dry white or tawny wine
the carcas of a plainly roasted chicken
3.8 ltrs water
beer yeast

In the method it states
Use the carcas, bones , wing tips, parsons nose,trimmings and neck of a plainly roasted chicken, chop and crush all of the above together, place in a bowl pour over the wine and leave in the fridge, then you brew the beer and when it's fermenting you suspend the chicken in a mesh bag in the FV for 2 days then remove and let the beer ferment and do the usual.

I thought I might send it to HFW and see if he makes it on his next sreies of river cottage :lol:

Not sure I'll be adding that to my list of brews.. If you do make it I'd be very interested to see how it turns out. :shock:

If I take 10 gallons of ale, I'll be having a problem with the large cock... It'll be brewers droop!

Sod the jokes for now.....what I want to know is....WHY? How could anyone think that adding a manky old chicken carcass to beer would make it better? They didn't even HAVE Fosters in those days.
