My beers are to filling, cant drink enough!

I have brewed a couple extract beers, and all are very good but very filling. I barely get through 5 and just cant drink anymore, which is a problem! I have done a ipa, pale ale, and hefe. Are all extract like that or is it something im doing? can i change something? Im thinking its the malt, so is all grain not as filling? They are so good i need to drink more!

Give us your address. Dibby33 and I will come over and teach you how to drink.

Should have known that was coming

Quality is much better than quantity!

Keep at it, your stomach will surely grow and then you will have more room.

Make some of EdWort's Apfelwein and have 12 oz of it and 5 beers...you will be all set!

I know its not me, nobody has answered my question, but i have gotten alot of abuse!. Is extract this way? is all grain better?

The only difference between all grain and extract is that somebody did the mashing for you in extract brewing.

Maybe you are asking the wrong questions...maybe you should be asking yourself why you want to drink more than 5 beer.

Basically, homebrew has more body and character than commercial varieties. because its made with more than just sugar. Its made from Malt, which is not 100% fermentable. If it was, beer would have no flavor. All that beer flavor is residual carbs and proteins not broken down by the fermentation process. Any homebrew you make, regardless of type (extract or AG) will be more filling if you follow a recipe and don't just add a bunch of sugar.

By the way, what you got here was not abuse. People were just trying to have fun with you. Don't you want to play with us?

Pffffft, lightweight!

If you want to drink more than five beers in a sitting on a regular basis, perhaps you should look into session beer recipes before you die.

Lol well in Canada we like to have a few beers - but even I after about 8 or 9 I am pretty full - and that is pale ale. If I have my IPA usually 7-8 and Im done. Commercial beer I can drink a dozen easy - I think there is just ak,ittle moe fullness to homebrew - bnut to nly be able to drink 5 you just beed a lil practice and youll be ok

You could always brew a beer with a higher alcohol content. That way, you won't need much more than 5.

Your wanting to drink more than 5 is an interesting question. I know I love to drink beer, and once I get going, I don't like slowing down, let alone stopping. I also know SWMBO gets cranky if I do it on a regular basis (multiple times a week). If you are basing what you're used to drinking on BMC crap (which would understandable) then yes, you're going to have "trouble" drinking more beer. That's the kind of trouble I want, frankly. My suggestions are: 1) try lagering, 2) really think about WHY you want to drink more than 5, and 3) RDWHAHB!

And don't let these guys get to you. Think of them as several thousand assorted older brothers who will still help you out when you really need it, but still insist on doling out the occassional nuggie (sp?) or charlie horse.
