Stupid question does anyone get bad headaches from there brew? If I drink one or 6 I've been getting bad headache. Just seeing if anyone else has ran into this.
+1 fermentation.
Control your temps, don't pitch too warm. Keep the fermentation in the 60s as a general rule. 68 seems to be the sweet spot for ales. Of course there are exceptions. After fermentation has slowed, not as important. I have a plastic rough tote bin that I fill with water. In the winter I use an aquarium heater to warm up, and in warmer months I use some 1liter soda bottles with ice inside to cool down.
I pitch it about about 65 and the temp on my fermenter was around 62-65. This was my beer I will take any advicethis does sound like it might be related to fusel alcohol. what temp do you pitch at, and what is the room temp where you ferment (considering your beer will be around 5 degrees higher internally)?
I don't think its fusel alcohol if the headeachs from one beer, I would think you would notice something way way off and simply dump it, now 6 that maybe a different story, slow ingestion of bad booze, ever have a bad or poor quality wine hangover?
Allergic to anything?
I don't drink wine can't stand it. I'm not allergic to anything that I know of.
chumpsteak said:I've had massive headaches from 2 sips of fusel laden beers. It absolutely sounds like fusels to me. Pitch lots of healthy yeast and control ferm temps.
Oh, and wheat beers. I get headaches from all wheat beers. I've also tested negative on gluten allergy tests.
