Hangover

[grasshopper1917]

Ive never been one to get a hangover - but I found that since I started brewing my own beer I usually wake up with a slight hangover after drinking the home brew - is there a reason for this and is there anyway to avoid it?

Don't stop drinking.

Seriously. My hangovers STOPPED when I switched to HB. More vitamin B12, less fusel alcohol than commercial beers, etc...

Check out your ferment temps, like BM said, there should be less fusels in the beer and the vitamin b helps your body fight the dehydration.

I mention the temps because if you ferment too high then it can lead to more fusels that you don't want in the beer.

Ditto. I can be kneewalking at 11pm and chipper again at 8am.

I've never had a hangover from homebrew but I've noticed that I get wicked hangovers from wine and/or commercial beers. The older I get, the worse it gets. If I drink too much commercial beer, I'm useless the next day. If I drink three glasses of wine, I pay for hit the next day.

so, the point is, I can drink as much HB as I want. And I do! The only consequence is that I've gained a little weight.

I've also found that hangovers have all but disappeared for me. Even when I'm going to drink a few commercial beers, I get a couple homebrews in as well just for good measure.

Look at your consumption level as well....sometimes folks go from rarely having beer in the house to having a ready supply and tipping more back (of possibly higher abv beer) per session. Fusels could also be a factor as mentioned if you are fermenting warm.
