Hi All - even as we speak the Pyssedas Heavy Industrial Brewing Division is undertaking a cock ale - it is a recipe which I have half dreamed up for myself - but hopefully will avoid the worst of the rancidity which could eventuate from some recipes - and also avoids adding raisins to the beer which i just couldn't bear.
For those who wish for more details they can be found at:

Any other thoughts would be most welcomed - if there are any brave souls in Melbourne who would be interested in trying this beast [if feathered things fit into the beast category] feel free to get in touch via the site!
Cheers
