Will the introduction of creatine have an effect on the fermentation of yeast?

I prefer HGH myself...oh wait, um..... I have no idea, I'm leaning towards none as I've never heard of it as a yeast nutrient.

Are you trying to make a "health" beer or hoping the creatine will get the yeast to go that extra mile to attenuate a 1.200 brew? I suppose you would have to test and see. To me it doesn't sound appealing, never have been able to get over the grittiness of creatine...bad texture juju.

Bottom line, anyone who is serious enough to take creatine, would never put it in their beer.

Why not take creatine, and then drink beer?

I like to eat pizza with beer sometimes, but that doesn't compel me to drop a slice in the fermenter.

NICE...how about burrito beer too My personal favorite is bacon beer, invented at a college party.

Seriously though, creatine almost completely converts into creatinine in the body due to its acidic nature. Beer, being acidic, would probably have the same impact on the creatine and creatinine is not exactly good for the body hence products like kre-alkalin which adds a PH buffer to try to avoid the conversion. So unless you are going to somehow brew at a PH of 12 or so it would be a pointless endeavor.

But weren't you hoping someone would say that?
