Hi
I'm new to homebrewing with out a kit and decided to try a nettle beer recipe I saw in a self sufficiency book. Was more of self-sufficiency that real proper homebrewing (it used bread yeast...) but decided to give it a try. After bottling and waiting for a week for the beer to mature I tried one pint. Bit too lemony but OK. The second day had just one pint and I had a HUGE hangover the next day. I was ready for bready taste due to the yeast or off tastes or something similar but not a head splitting headache after only one pint, (specially since I can usually handle my booze quite well).
Being a bit stubborn I decided that it couldn't be the beer, so I had another pint the other day, and again had a massive hangover. Any ideas what could've happened?
Fermentation was done at a temperature between 18-20ºC. Recipe was as follows for 1 gallon:
1kg nettle leaves
25g citric acid
500g sugar
1 sachet bread yeast
2 lemons
Thanks!
