Serious study on yeast farts

**Laughing_Gnome_Invisible** · 01-12-2009, 03:44 PM

OK, This is a SERIOUS study, which is the reason that I posted it in the esteemed scientific "Drunken carp" (misspelling intentional) Thread

A little story... Saturday, opened 1 litre of Homebrew bitter. For some unknown reason, I took note of the time I opened it. By te time I got to the end of the bottle, I had the idea to drink the sediment too, and time the period between starting the beer and the occorunce of the first yeast fart.

I was surprised by the results!! It turned out to be 2 hours and 40 minutes.... I was sat on the couch playing games on my laptop when I burst forth with a 4 second anus exhalation of pure genius......I immediately looked at my watch, and started to calculate the timing....

Wifey was not nearly as impressed as I was. She looked at me and said "Why couldn't you go to the bathroom to do that?....... And what's wrong with your watch?"

Anyways, it got me to wondering, what is it with yeast farts!?

If you take the time to help with the poll, please obey the rules.

a) You gotta drink the sediment
b) No cheating or guessing
c) mail me $5
d) Observe rule A

Sorry, this Gnome is impervious to yeasty beers. I think I have been drinking sediment and unfiltered beer for so long that my body has just adapted to it... :shrug:

However, tonight I will try the experiment and see.... just for scientific purposes

Sorry no bottle conditioned beers here. However that does not stop me.

I could not say for sure. I am pretty much in a constant gaseous eruptus state.

I'm always rippin 'em, so my participation would in this study would prove nothing.... but I'll drink some tonight anyway.

I don't see the "yet another douchey poll' option?

Our newest forum member is CheeseCutter, so I think you might value his opinion.

I'm still sticking to my guns that it's not neccisarily just yeast, but also more likely polysaccharides and oligosaccharides from homebrew that the natural yeasties and bacteria in your body have a heyday snacking on.

Yeast doesn't survive the stomach. The unfermented sugars in the beer get through and are then fermented in the gut. Hence the anal symphonies.

I had Anal Symphony 6 and got rid of it. It wasn't as good as the other 5

When Ifirst started home brewing, I wasn't aware of the ramifications of consuming the yeast, and therefore quite often didn't take the time to pour it into a glass.
One evening, my neighbor (who is now also a home brewer), his wife, SWMBO and I all sat in our yard, consuming about a case-and-a half of various beers that I had made.
Within an hour of working the next day, my partner refused to work with me, (keep in mind, we were working in a hallway, with plenty of ventilation) and I eventually wound up alienating about a dozen or more other people on the job that day.
It ain't easy offending construction workers with flatulance !
