Do hoppy beers make your pee stink?

[sm007thie]

completely OT:

the other day i harvested my cascades. chewed on a few nugs err cones off the plant. then went inside and had a couple casdillas and the bitterness opened up the taste buds so tapatio actually had some bite!!

interesting. you might be on to a new culinary genre combining hops with spicy foods to amplify the heat.

Probably like an entire case I'm guessing.

I can relate to the funky pee smell...I had about 6 of my American Pale Ale's last night and this morning my urine was atrocious. Funny thing is it wasn't very dark in color as you might imagine with dehydration. It was relatively clear and smelled foul. Dunno if its just the home brew or what but good god!

Vitamin B will turn pee bright neon green with the right concentration, and I definitely notice a difference in aroma depending on what was consumed the evening before.

As for gas, oy. When I was totally new to brewing I made a batch of extract imperial stout, on bottling day my friend and I ran out of bottles. We had already consumed many bottle conditioned european beers, mostly from around the Baltic sea, we then ate massive amounts of rice and beans, after that we finished off the unbottled and primed imperial stout. The next day was spent in complete agony with CO2 moving around inside of us in places we didn't know it could collect, we're pretty sure we diluted our gastric juices enough to allow the yeast to continue fermenting inside our guts for the next several hours...

It was excellent beer, though!

Is your flusher broke? Why do you know what your pee smells like? Please tell me you aren't trying to pitch yeast into your toilet bowl......

I always thought it smells like sugar smacks, but you also have to thing about all the sugar your drinking. Plus the fact that the IIPA is even more concentrated. Your body uses the water gets rid of the bull****, and it smells like corn sugar.

Sugar Smacks was exactly how I was going to describe it. I also, notice the same when I don't drink enough water!! Strange thing is, I like the sugar smacks cereal....I can eat the hell out of them!

Lmao, its so pungent that you cant help but get a whiff while urinating. Ass for these guys talking about it smelling like honey smacks you may want to get checked for diabetes...sweet smelling urine is one of the symptoms. Mine was just straight up rancid smelling...lol

Because that was too embarrassing.

Hey, I thought the flavor of my throat yogurt was relevant to this discussion!

So... better or worse with which variety? Inquiring minds want to know. I'm married, so there is very little chance for a controlled experiment on my end

No- an evening of hoppy beers = nothing. But Spring is close, and fresh asparagus from our patch will be quite another story.

When SWMBO would have a sore throat I would always recommend "Dr. Peter's Throat Creme with his patented applicator. Gets right back to where the soreness is!" Oddly enough, she never took me up on my offers. Just trying to help is all.

I never ate asparagus that much (I eat it more often now). The first time I had "asparagus pee" (not to be confused with "Skeeter Pee"). I thought someting was dead in the bathroom. So, based on my limited research, input effects output, even in the liquid arena.

 

[stumpwater]

i drink a lot of beer, and my pee always smells like it has piss in it...lol

 

[DoubleAught]

I'm testing this tonight....will report back tomorrow
