I'm still giving this the benefit of the doubt.
I can't quite believe the sincerity of it!

Don't worry Evanvine I'm sure you're not the only one that thought it was a wind upevanvine said:
It is a little bizarre and that's why I'm doing it :lol:
I have little doubt it will be vile and won't make it into bottles, but what the hell it's got to be worth it for the sake of a couple of kilos of malt :wha:

If it turns out to be any good why not :hmm:davesiv said:
I'm not intending to judge next year, so that I can enter some beers of my own, it might be a good one to "inflict" on the judges :rofl:

Goooo awn t_s...hat of to ya :thumb:
I don't think I've ever seen this recipe had it bluff called...will be very interesting.
Not sure I like the idea of the raw chicken version :shock: I know alcoholic acidic solutions are pretty bacteria hostile environments but I'm not sure I'd chance it with campylobacter and salmonella :shock: :sick:

Today we have a good active fermentation
The recipe says to skim any scum before adding the "Cock" but we know better don't we boys and girls :grin:
The carcass strained into a grain bag
Adding the bagged "Cock" to the fermenting beer
In goes the strained liquid
Recipe now calls for the "Cock" to remain in the fermenting beer for two days, so that's what will happen :thumb:
