I have recently noticed that certain yeasts produce more headache generating compounds than others. For me, the headache is the only unpleasant part of the hangover, when I drink a brand of Vodka that never gives me headaches, I can ignore the rest of the symptoms and be up and about no matter how much I drank. For this reason yeast strains that don't make a lot of those compounds are of interest to me.
So far the worst strain I brewed with was Saflager 34/70 (45F Ferment, 35F Lagering). Just one bottle of that gave me a headache that last 3 hours long afterwards
The best has been Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale (65F Ferment), a six pack of 7% stout I made with that could easily be ignored the day after.
So my question is, have you noticed any low headache strains? Post them here if you have.
