Ok so I made a Carmel Mocha Braggot, and decided to test it about 4 months premature of aging.
Background:
Well, it's got 12 pounds of honey and a full size can of coffee in about 5 gallons. The coffee was cold brewed for 2 days @ 3 gallons
Then combined with 5 pounds of honey and wort, stout style. So some Carafa III.
then once to the fermenter i added the rest of the honey. sat for 2 months.
Issue:
When we (me and a friend ) tested it, after about 2 cups my friends neck was blushing like crazy, and the next day he said he felt weird and partially awful for a while the next day.
I asked him his allergy's and he said pollen, grass clippings etc... So honey?
but he described the awful feeling as almost groggy so i was thinking since he drank 5 cups, 1 cup most likely having the equivalent of 3 cups coffee, so assuming 1500mg of caffeine, the next day might have been caffeine withdrawal?
Any input is appreciated.
