I've made two batches and both have given me ungodly gas. No, i'm not joking around, i'm a regular alcoholic and haven't had gas like this until i drank alcohol i've made.
If you keg it and force carbonate, could you just filter it with a 1 micron filter since you don't need the active yeast anymore?
Its the residual sugars that reach your small and large intestines. Your GI tract cannot absorb oligosaccharides through your gut epithelium and it leaves sugars for your natural flora to ferment, E coli, enterococcus etc. They create gas from the fermentation and it is your resposibility to "relieve the pressure" so-to-speak.
Force carbing or filtering will not affect the sugars so my guess is that you will still have gas the next day.
I am not sure how the remaining yeast would contribute to your gas. Maybe when the yeast cells reach your gastric acid in your stomach or your pancreatic juices in your duodenum they release gas. Other than that, I would assume any yeast remaining in suspension would be completely killed by your stomach pH.

You say that like it's a bad thing
Well, to be even more disgusting, the girlfriend doesn't like it so much when we're doin' it.
nothin like a homebrew fart while gettin a hummer! your body will adjust to the homebrew over time and the gas will subside, I kinda miss the homebrew farts, they made work soo fun!
Ok, this thread is hard to read while drinking anything! Anyway, I do remember the HB farts, but yeah your system gets used to it and it'll go away. Not before leaving you some good stories though!

Need some fresh hard boild eggs, yeast and all the home brew goodness love the protiens in eggs.... first thing in the morning in best.
:rockin:
Interesting thing for me personally - SNPA actually DOES "set me off" more than home brew does. I have yet to figure that one out. Tumbler, Celebration - not so much. But The good ole golden nectar that is SNPA - it kills me every time.
Sadly for small children and SWMBO, I love the stuff ! A little discomfort to others is of no concern to me if I can pick up some of that hoppy nectar.
You know, I SWEAR that highly hopped beer is more gas-inducing than the malty ones. But then again, most of my beers are hopped pretty well, so it's hard to tell....
