LazyDave Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 My mate was struggling to wash his barrel after a brew, so I told him the story of when my 'beer drinking chicken' taught me a trick. Young chick used to come in the bar and have a sup, she was addicted to beer or the yeast, and when I put boiling water in my FV to wash it, she would threaten to jump in the barrel chasing some yeast. So I decided to put a towel over the FV just in case, and subsequently found out that washing the FV was a breeze because the towel had helped trap the steam, which made for an all round better clean. So that was the day a chicken taught me something lol. Made me wonder, has anyone else got similar strange tales of how they discovered something useful?

weggl Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 This is not about chickens but rather a kockato. About 55 years ago (when I was a young bloke) I was an apprentice electrician and the boss and the other electrician stopped for a beer at a pub on the Sydney side of Tom Uglies bridge (St George area) they took me in an gave me a lemonade. There was a cockatoo with about 2 feathers in its tail that was walking up and down along the bar, drinking the spillage and being given a drink by some of the patrons. Well this bird that would occasionally fall of the bar, some would pick it up and put it back and it was a pretty good talker. It had a couple of pet sayings one was \u201cStella there breaking the f******* glassed again\u201d and the other was, \u201cif I had another f****** feather I would fly\u201d. Quite a funny thing to see. Weggl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Dave, you do use some form of chemical sanitiser, yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyDave Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Yes, this is only for the first clean after bottling, sometimes the scum ring is stuck fast, but boiling water and a towel thrown over for 20mins, and it just wipes off. We did a video of our beer drinking chicken - it was a worlds first lol, we found no others on U-tube http://www.youtube.com/user/stickcattycat#p/a/u/1/dGPfkEfShCI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
