Chicken Milk Stout Homebrew from Another Wolfcop

by Hop Nation USA's Steve
Picture
If you listened to Episode 77 of the podcast, you heard Adam and I conceptualize a recipe for the fictional beer from the Canadian indie film, Another Wolfcop. While there aren't any reptilian shapeshifter embryos in the recipe, we did get a little nuts in the use of actual fried chicken. But it's no crazier than what The Veil Brewing company already did with their Fried Fried Chicken Chicken IPA. Feel free to just omit it anyway. Now although the film is from Canada, I'm American and so the recipe won't be in metric and you'll have to convert it yourself. Sorry.

Grain Bill
11 lb Pale 2-Row
4 lb Smoked Barely
0.5 lb Black Patent
Optional 5 lbs Fried Chicken

Water
Mash Water: 5.15 gal / 6.80 gal (with chicken)
Strike Temp: 168
Sparge: 4.25 gal / 3.2 gal

Boil: 60 minutes
1 oz Hallertau hops @ 40 Minutes
2 lb Lactose Sugar @ 10 Minutes
1 oz Cayenne pepper, 2 oz cracked peppercorn, 1 oz Fuggle hops @ 5 minutes

Yeast
Wyeast American Ale

Secondary
16 oz Maple Syrup

Yield: 5 Gals Estimated OG: 1.096 FG: 1.034 ABV: 8.13% IBUs: 12

UPDATE: If you scroll down to the comments section, you'll see one of the creative producers on the Wolfcop films actually reached out to us and gave us some more insight into the naming behind Chicken Milk Stout. Essentially translating Egg Nog to French and then back to English gives you Chicken Milk, so the intention behind the film's beer is to be an Egg Nog Stout. With this mind, I now present a TRVE recipe for fans of Wolfcop and accuracy. We still stand behind our original recipe, though, and encourage you to try brewing both.

Grain Bill
9 lb Pale 2-Row
6 lb Flaked Oats
1 lb Midnight Wheat

Water
Mash Water: 5.3 gal
Strike Temp: 164
Sparge: 4.1 gal

Boil: 60 minutes
1 oz Galena hops, 1 oz Cluster hops @ 30 Minutes
4 lb Lactose Sugar, 2 oz East Kent Golding hops @ 10 Minutes
2 oz Willamette Hops @ 5 minutes

Yeast
Wyeast Oatmeal Stout

Secondary
Cut two vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape out the inside paste. Add beans and paste to secondary fermenter before beer if doing a full transfer. (Can substitute beans for vanilla extract cause that shit is expensive right now. Just add extract to taste before bottling)

Pre-Bottling/Kegging
Spice Extract - in 4 oz of spiced rum, soak 3 crushed up cinnamon sticks for about a week.
Add tincture and 0.5 oz of ground nutmeg before bottling.

Yield: 5 Gals Estimated OG: 1.077 FG: 1.019 ABV: 7.5% IBUs: 31

More Summer Movie Previews + Beer Pairings (BONUS AUDIO)

by Hop Nation USA's Steve
In Episode 59, we paired beers with the summer movies Solo: A Star Wars Story, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and Mission: Impossible:: Fallout. I don’t think movies have enough colons. Here’s a few more pairings with movies, including Bonus audio cut from the show when Adam surprised Steve and Dennis with a challenge to pair beers with Incredibles 2.
Picture
Deadpool 2 - Plain and simple, original formula Four Loko. The first film was off the walls comedic mayhem like Bugs Bunny played Rambo. It’s safe to assume the sequel will be more guns, more explosions, more 4th wall renovations, and more mutants making it even crazier. You need to be able to wild out more than Nick Cannon in ‘05. O.G. Loko will get you there. Save the riot punch and coke for Deadpool 3 or X-Force.
