Mong's Blood Beer - How To?

[passedpawn]

I don't remember where I red that bit, but apparently people used to use all sorts of crazy ingredients, to include blood. I read it years and years ago though, so I don't know. As for the truths of the internet, well I could have been making that up.

Macbeth. The three witches are making a sweet IPA in a cave. Note the last line. You've forgotten all the bard's stuff I bet

Round about the caldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.—
Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one;
Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot!
ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
2 WITCH. Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
3 WITCH. Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;
Witches' mummy; maw and gulf
Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark;
Root of hemlock digg'd i the dark;
Liver of blaspheming Jew;
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse;
Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips;
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,—
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
For the ingrediants of our caldron.
ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
2 WITCH. Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

Get thee to a brewery, why woulds't thou be a brewer of beers?

 

[SnakeRidge]

Maybe that's what I'm missing in my IPA. Brun'water doesn't have settings for gall of goat and owlet's wing though. I guess it all goes in the boil? Dog tongue sounds like a secondary aging type thing.

Heparin is the first anticoagulant that comes to mind. It comes from mucous membranes of slaughtered animals. It is highly sulphonated, though, so I'm not sure about the taste. I'm pretty sure it's not absorbed by the gut, though I doubt it would make it through the boil. It's pretty labile.

Also, I had some catfish bait that was made from coagulated chicken blood, looked and smelled like dog****.

Follow up question:

I can't get them to hold still to trim their nails. Any tips?

TIA in advance

I doubt they did a peer reviewed study of people drinking blood beer with heparin in it.

I do agree with you on the blood bait. That stuff is foul. Biggest catfish I ever caught was an a piece of ivory soap. True story.

What about blood thinners instead of anti coagulants? Then just add some carapils to give it some body

Put the aspirin IN the beer to cancel out the headache?

Ginseng acts as a blood thinner, iirc...

As does alcohol.

......tap the liver bleed for more blood for more beer

On my next batch, I'll prick my finger and add a couple of drops. You may not think that qualifies as blood beer, but it'll at least taste good and I'll be closer to it than anyone else.

 

[Barley_Bob]

One-uppmanship!

If witches appear in my kitchen when I drop the blood in, I'll let you know.

I'm really glad we have a name for the brew now. Grain bill ideas?
