A lot of gas from mild malt

[schoellhorn82]

Anyone experience excess flatulence from beers using British mild malt? Lol kind of gross but its only this beer that does it.

The recipe is 13lb British mild malt and 15% of the grist a combo of crystal malts. I have an ipa with 20% crystal grist that doesnt do it so thats not it.

The beer is 4% abv fyi

Less flocculent English yeast strain may be the culprit.

US 04. Use it all the time with no ill effects

All beer gives me farts.

Maybe that particular beer has more of some kind of unfermentables that doesn't digest, and cause gas. Just a guess.

 

[schoellhorn82]

Yeah maybe. All beer does that to me too but this is obnoxious

It's the yeast, not the beer. It gets to your gut and ferments your stomach contents and food particles in your colon...you know the rest of the story.

Pete's Wicked Ale used to give me serious gas.....
I figured it was some kind of unfermentable sugar in their beer that was then turned into gas in my guts.
What mash temp are you using for the Mild recipe mentioned above? What is the OG and FG?

This would be my guess. It's not the yeast, it certainly doesn't ferment in your gut unless you have autobrewery syndrome.
