I know the fermenting put's out carbon dioxide. Is it dangerous for me to sleep in the same room i am brewing in with only 2 5gal batches at a time ?
I used to sleep on a fouton . .
I puked all over the fouton, kitchen, hall and bathroom. I am pretty sure that it was all the sulfur fumes that I was taking from the off gasing.
Well, fermenting beer and a live woman give off about the same amount of CO-2. Either one is fine but both at once can be dangerous. Now you know why so much beer is brewed by monks.
is there another kind of woman?
Printenction is the key to being protectef onm you, Maybve if you are are ful you wont; throw up like oth er someone did. I thonk you need another beer possibljy/

So who is geeky enough to do a calculation of how many gallons of beer you need to have going in a sealed room in order to die of CO2 narcosis?
It is a lot. And I mean A LOT!!! I did some calcs on this a long time ago in some advanced science courses when we were making Wine and Moonshine. (yeah my High School was awesome!)
It also came up a few years ago in regards to something else but i forgot which.
You can rest assured that it would take a massive amount of fermenting beer in a horribly vented room to create deadly levels. I think Mythbusters did something about this on an episode. The sealed a room and ran some form of reaction that was producing CO2 to see if it would be deadly and they couldn't even get close. (The myth was that a woman somehow sealed her room and while sleeping all the O2 was used up and only her CO2 remained.
If you really wanted to get technical you could actually measure the amount of CO2 coming out of your carboy and you would see it is hardly noticeable. Your breath creates more CO2 consistently than a 5 gal batch of beer fermenting in the room.
A futon is not a real futon until it has been puked on. Besides, they deserve it.
Your prolly right about all that but, stick your head down in a chest freezer that has had a beer fermenting or a couple weeks and you'll start to think twice.
That is, after you come out of your blackout.
I told my beer no, but it was so convincing... It said it loved me!
i think the Mythbusters episode was about METHANE from flatulance... not Co2. an entirely different issue altogether!
now, being married to a fellow beer drinker (micro and home, never a macro)
talk about having a solid relationship... once you get over the "humor" of "hotboxing" each other, youll be fine...
anyway, your safe with the tiny bit by weight of Co2 your carboys are releasing compared to respiration, and flatulation that is goin on in that room.
