[Sca-cooks] Boiling in Beer

[Phil Troy / G. Tacitus Adamantius]

Also sprach Patrick Levesque:
>I was wondering, as I see a lot of recipes asking us to boil stuff in water,
>vinegar, wine, milk, whatever... But never in beer.

>So how early can we document recipes asking the reader to boil food in beer?

Off the top of my head, I can't quote anything, but I'm pretty sure 
there are some 14th century English recipes that speak of boiling in 
fine wort (mashed but unfermented ale) and in ale.
