So my GF gave some of my beers to her assistant to try, he's a burgeoning beer geek. What's interesting is that my Saison gave him an allergic reaction. He said his lips and face blew up as well as hives. He said it happened right away so the chance of coincidence is pretty low. He's pretty allergic to everything I guess, but all my other beers didn't affect him that way.
What's even more interesting is that this particular Saison was slightly soured by a sour mash I conducted using the lacto from the grain itself. No live lacto was added after the boil. I know my girlfriend had a reaction from Kambucha tea, so I wonder if the lacto or some other bug had pumped out something that would cause an allergic reaction. Any one ever hear of something like this happening?
