Does Homebrew Give you Gas?

[BrewHack]

I've just gotten into this hobby and am really enjoying my first brew. I drink 1-2 pints a night... it's so yummy. I've noticed an uptick in farts, voluminous ones too. I'm guessing it's the CO2. I keg at just under 12 psi which is perfect for the APA I've made. Do you guys have the same experience?

Yeast. Probiotics mane

Not really any different for me from commercial bottled beer — but I bottle and am careful not to pour any yeast from the bottom of the bottle into my glass.

no? i did get the squirts from some rice beer i brewed, didn't know i need to add gluco to the fermenter, had a FG of like 1.030 or something. also unaware dextrins are a form of soluble fiber... the porceilin god really hated me for them two kegs! still having trouble getting a job!

i'd say not to worry and take pride in it, it'll pass. pun? maybe? but when i first started losing 100 pounds eating beans, had the farts something fierce, but i wouldn't hear nothing about it...now i can eat a huge bowl of beans and not a toot...

my buddy gets horrific gas when he drinks fresh squeezed or fresh haze... to funny.

It's not weird at all that someone knows that much about their buddy...

Cheers!

I don't get horrific gas from my beer (after all, I'm a woman; I don't fart, and when I do I blame it on the dogs), but I DO get some not-very-fun poop issues if I drink too much of a new beer that still has a lot of yeast in suspension. I figure I've got the cleanest colon in these parts.

after all, I'm a woman; I don't fart,

my mom tried teaching me that skill...she basically told me "there's polite ways to relive yourself".....lol

My home brew gives me a lot of CO2 gas, during fermentation of course. Free keg purges are working out well, looking into other ways to utilize in brewing process.

women don't fart, they squeak

 

[MaxStout]

I'm a bottler, so plenty of yeast to provide, um, gut flora. So, to answer the OP's question, yes.

Don't care. Had beer.

 

[Steveruch]

Get a dog to blame.

It could be the battle of your intestinal flora, keep consuming home brew and raw fermented veggies so the good guys win. You’ll still fart, but they aren’t likely to be as stinky.

I find certain hops to cause more gas than others... Strange, I know.
