The only brew that I've ever done while smashed ended up taking 4 days to start fermentation and I was ASTOUNDED that it wasn't infected. And that was extract.
Am I the only person out there who didn't think Ed's AW caused undo pain? Maybe it's just another mystery of individual chemistry, but if I have just two pints of microbrew or homebrew and don't drink a pint of water, I wake up with a headache. However, several nights I drank a quart or more of AW and felt fine and dandy the next morning.
I felt fine this morning but my congitive skills definitly suffered yesterday and Cheeto the fatty tire clone seems to be going fine 8 hours since pitching and i just plugged the hell outta my airlock with a VERY healthy krausen just got home from work and had to put on a blowoff tube. and knock on wood i have never got a hangover from homebrew...gassy as hell yep but no hangin.
