Thanks Brekke, and Adamantius,

I didn't think I was mis-remembering it, but I couldn't find mentions 
of this in the Florilegium and that is just the sort of wierd stuff I'm 
likely to save.

It does sound like the chicken may not stay in the mix but for a day. 
Unless it sits in the sack or a day and then goes into the brewing ale 
for the rest of the time.

Brekke, if you would, please ask Master Ateno if he would be willing to 
write up his notes on making this brew or even better, write up an 
article on this for the Florilegium. I suspect many people might be 
interested, if just because it is a bit odd.

Stefan
