Bought a book off eBay last week.
It also has a recipe and info on brewing a Cock Ale.

Do we have any new takers on giving this a go ?

Beers,

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

Does a "thumbs up" count as a tasting note???

Well I am proud of my stomach for surviving the chicken beer - but not sure I am up to the egg - have seen it in its bottle fermenting and it looked truly terrible - the reports of the smell defy belief. Think I will have to be well scutted before I attempt that one!

There was actually a small snippet of info about Cock Ale in the Metro (free London newspaper) on tuesday. They quoted the same recipe!

Nice read PHI, its good to see someone actually tried this, nomatter how insane of a recipe it is!

How's it going Kook? any chance you'll be at Gl's on the weekend?

 

[kook]

Its going great Working and drinking good beer (no brewing though I'm afraid). I wont be at GLs I'm afraid. I'm taking a day trip down to Brighton to visit The Evening Star (http://www.eveningstarbrighton.co.uk/) for their winter beer festival.
