Anyone ever try adding some fiber to their beer? Maybe a cup of Metamucil to a 5 gallon batch would help keep the system healthy.

What are you worried about, "Mr. Twelve Incher?"
Nothing. It feels good to be healthy. Plus, I can tell my wife "Nix the fiber one, I'm having another homebrew!"
 
I like snacking on fiber one...lol... it goes good with beer!!

I'll save the metamucil for when I NEED it w/ SWMBO, LOL...

(...but but... honey its high in fiber!!)
 
I wouldn't take the chance of spoiling a whole batch. You never know what an additive like fiber is going to do to a beer. Why not just stir some of that tasteless benefiber stuff into a glass after it's poured?
 
The yeast alone already makes me pretty regular, I can't imagine what adding fiber on top will do.

My hope is that it'll blast out the yeast sooner to eliminate the day long trumpet solos.
