do REALLY hoppy beers dehydrate you?

[bracconiere]

i just made a WAY TOO hoppy beer, woke up with what i think is really dehydrated?

Uh... I speak three languages and I'm not sure thats one of them...

 

[Pkrd]

No such thing as too hoppy!

Are you sure it wasn’t a high ABV that dehydrated you?

 

[dmtaylor]

I'm sure living in S.AZ doesn't help hydration much either.

But probably the ABV, and perhaps too much volume?

 

[Group W]

ABV for sure, but hops, never heard of that as a cause.

Drink more WATER! Be happy

Maybe decades of hard drinking could cause dehydration? Not a doctor, but seems plausible.....

2 decades actually...13 years ago i had to learn to eat right though..

Ok, thanks, editing my post for accuracy....

I'm with Brac on this one. If I drink a lot of extra hoppy IPAs I wake up with super dry mouth and feel dehydrated. Not just related to ABV, happens with lower ABV brews too.

Still worth it to me, glass of water by the bed solves it. No need not to drink them.

Also worse for me if I use campden to treat the water. Wife and I had similar issues when we were hanging out at a small brewery on a trip, asked the brewer and he said they used campden. Might just be in our minds too.

that's what happened to me with this SUPER hoppy beer, when i just use 1.5-2ozs in a 10 gallon batch no problem..

if i didn't already say, this had like 4ozs/60, 8ozs/20, and 16ozs/170°f

Wow. That's a recipe for some really expensive pee.

i have 88lbs of 2016 crystal hops too....(they were giving them away at hops direct for shipping!)

What is the ABV?

 

[MaxStout]

Did you go on a bender? Drinking a lot of anything can make you dehydrated the next day.

 

[bracconiere]

What is the ABV?

~5%ABV

Did you go on a bender? Drinking a lot of anything can make you dehydrated the next day.

?????? i'd guess i would have blown a 0.1BAC?

 

[Pkrd]

Bump.

 

[day_trippr]

Lol!

 

[Pkrd]

Lol!

You think Brac is too dehydrated to post?

 

[grampamark]

Yeah. He hasn’t been here since 4/2.

 

[seatazzz]

I noticed that the other day too. Hope he's okay.

 

[Pkrd]

Thought things were unusually quiet.

 

[Pkrd]

Bump again.

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

Has anyone heard from him?

 

[Pkrd]

Hopefully his skills have been recognised and he’s been well looked after. Probably on his 3rd batch of pruno now.

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

Hopefully not, as far as I understand he has not been involved in any criminal activities and out of jail for several years.
If that was what you were implying...

 

[Pkrd]

I mean that’s better than the alternative. I’m worried about the guy!
