Thanks SumnerH!

So I have a couple of more questions after reading all the information in this thread along with this thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/headache-bottle-172549/. Fusal alcohols are produced at higher fermentation temps? If so what is that threshold for an ale? What kind of effect would...

Thanks for that info. I went to your thread and it sounds like my beer is doing exactly what yours did. Lots of info in that thread to digest about fermenting. I am pretty sure I didn't give the beer near enough time to ferment and ended up with headache in a bottle. This post from your...

So my first brew out of the gate was a Black IPA. Easy enough it would seem. Well here is the problem. None of us can drink the dang thing without getting a massive headache and hangover. The beer tastes good and is easy to drink, but the backlash is terrible. The story: New Year's...
