Ah ha ha, okay I'll geek up (the dorky equivalent of man up)...within the lived experience of being "buzzed" I'm sure that the amount of beer consumed would be one of the many contextual factors involved. Maybe that's why people are more relaxed on HBT than other forums, because most of us...

SWEET! Thanks Brew-Happy...I always go onto the journal databases without thinking of Google Scholar....duh! Now I have my bed time stories.....or maybe I'll do a scratch test on myself...or maybe not. Cheers! Oh and that last one you dug up is BLOODY HILARIOUS...honestly, that's a tagline in...

If it's -25celcius outside I would think that the microorganisms in the air are quite limited. So why don't I just cool my wort outside? It'll be way faster then inside instead of having it cool for a long time in my bacteria filled home. I could make a little hole in the snow and sit it...

After my experiment I did a brief search on PubMed and Allied Health Source yielding very little medical research into beer allergies. I'll revise my search terms and see what I can come up with. Considering the amount of people who have posted and are allergic to beer in some way, shape or...

According to what I've read about Internet research ethics...anything that is posted publicly online is reasonable fodder for a study. Which technically means anything posted here could be used in a research study and pass an ethics board without any of us knowing. I wonder what a qualitative...

Oh man, I'd totally ditch the cranberries and do a double dose of raspberries. I'm gonna try this next time 2 cans (3.3 kg) Coopers Ale liquid malt extract Substitute an ale specific yeast....not Coopers 50 grams Northern Brewer (bittering) 1/2 ounce Fuggles (flavor) 1/2 ounce Tettenager...

Had a taste....the cranberry is mellowing nicely, it's totally creamy, slightly sour and completely delicious.....HELL YEAH!!!!!!

Aren't those folks more concerned with turning water into wine??? Lord knows after a hard day of carpentry a beer is quite refreshing. Um, it's alright. I'm teaching there now...which I never expected. Just imagine marking the assignment of a student who Trust me, you're not the only one...

Okay, so I did an experiment anyways and timed it like a boil....(with antihistamines nearby...relax) I drank 250ml of Hockley stout (1 cup). BTW, Hurray Ontario Craft Brewers....booyah! Within 5 minutes - Stoned feeling 15 min - Chest congestion and tightening 30 min - Sneezing, runny nose +...

OH NO! That sucks. I usually taste my hops, smell my hops and if I'm priming with a hops tea I drink some....so I'd definitely be in trouble if that was the case. This is kind of a saddening thread...alas the quest must go on...

Yeah, good point. I suppose I should drop my "Using Poison Ivy as Toilet Paper" experiment next week as well. Rats. Seriously though, thanks for all the info, I'll have to wait a month now to see what the doc says. I'll ditch the dark beer consumption idea, I hate Benadryl, it gives me "kicky"...

I was reading (from a non-reliable internet e-health source) that histamines are a byproduct of the fermentation process and that there are some foods that contain natural histamines (spinach and tomatoes were two listed). Therefore by drinking beer you are introducing histamines to your system...

Yeah, I've got an appointment with the doc on Jan 15th so we'll see. I'm not taking any advice given on this site as serious health advice... I was just hoping for some thoughts while I wait or maybe some crazy brew nut might be like: "Dark malt has specific co-enzymes that stimulate the...

So I've at times had allergic reactions to beer and I couldn't find a thread here that addressed the topic (I did end up finding some after more extensive searching)... Symptoms: Runny nose, coughing, lung congestion (like asthma) So today I drank a St. Peters Winter Ale, Faxe Strong Beer...

Wow, you sound pretty freakin' hardcore already...my first batch had no grain steeping, no hops additions (pre-hopped kit) and no boil (just used hot water). It was a Coopers Lager kit, I added too much dextrose and then when it didn't start fermenting in about an hour I was "what's up with...

I made a Pilsner kit. I roasted 5 big Jalapeno peppers on the BBQ, then I scraped the black stuff off and threw them right in the boil towards the end. I let them ferment in the primary as well. Didn't have a secondary at that point. At first it tasted SUPER peppery and a little bit hot. After...

That's wicked...tell me how both the Cherry and the Orange went (and pictures too if possible!). I totally want to hear. I'm trying the Imperial Pale Ale from the book next but adding a bunch of local flavoring items such as Birch Syrup and Balsam tips....right now freakin' Christmas has...

Hi Mike I did this recipe but substituted other fruit....turned out wicked but I added cranberries that are CRAZY tart...so we'll see if they mellow
