Just make sure you've cooled the wort before sticking your cock in.
Otherwise its awkward explanation time at a&e.
:wha:

...indeed, nobody would ever believe that you burned yourself putting chicken in beer...

...I have to share again, ISTR chuckling most of the way through reading this:

It would go down well with a nice pie

Actually there is a recipe in John Alexander's book for a 25L brew of mild in which he adds 40ml of gravy browning at 20mins of the boil.

Gravy browning is just caramel. Been used in beers for a very long time.

It's used in several of Dave Lines recipes in BBLTYB

Bovril is very high in salt so could affect your fermentation if used in large amounts.

It also is beef free its made from autolysed yeast now & is good for Meat Refusers.

Why would you want Bovril Beer.

Extra beefy farts to dutch oven the wife with?

In November 2004, the manufacturers, Unilever, announced that the composition of Bovril was being changed from beef extract to a yeast extract, claiming it was to make the product suitable for vegetarians and vegans; at that time fear of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) may have been a factor. According to Unilever, "in blind taste tests, 10% didn't notice any difference in taste, 40% preferred the original and 50% preferred the new product."[citation needed] It now once again makes Bovril using beef extract and a chicken variety using chicken extract,[11] although the vegetarian formula is still sold in some countries, such as Australia and Hong Kong.

So it is made with beef but the salt thing has got me worried what are the ways around this ?

And I want bovril beer because I love bovril and I love beer
Only seems logical to fuse the two together In a blissful union of beefy boozyness :sick:

They did a Guinness version of Marmite but I'm not sure I'd like it the other way round.
