green beer..(headache)

[joelsbrew]

will green beer give you a headache?

 

[lumpher]

it can, if you drink enough of it

 

[vitrael]

It's kind of a personal thing isn't it?

I drink all the time, I've drunk very good beer, I've drunk very bad beer, I've drunk wine and whiskey and beer in the same night, I've drunk so much I stayed in bed the whole next day... but I've never gotten a headache from drinking.

Who wants green beer anyway? If its any good now it will be better soon!

 

[joelsbrew]

NO ONE WANTS GREEN BEER,but when your a new brewer and you think you beer may be ready and you try 2 of them(with off flavors) thats why only 2..you ask the question ..WILL green beer give you a HAEDACHE

 

[vitrael]

If you already drank two of them I think you're due to find out soon.

 

[lumpher]

if 2 give you a headache, there's a problem with the beer, unless you're a lightweight

light wieght no,problem with beer..thats what im trying to find out,its my first batch and i pitched the yeast while wort was over 80deg,i was told that it would be fine but it was in the bottle for 2 weeks and has an aftertaste and gave me a headache

I've had as little as two beers give me a headache when I fermented at too high of a temperature which created alot of fusel alcohols, but never while drinking young beer.

I suppose it depends on how well your body handles food coloring. It will make your tongue and vomit green though.

 

[joelsbrew]

Work on getting your fermentation temps down on your next batch, 80 degrees is capable of creating alcohols that can give you a headache in my exp.

This is just my opinion, I won't dump any bad beer until I've had it bottled for at least 6 weeks and it still hasn't gotten any better. From what I remember on my past brews, it seemed to get better with age, although in theory I guess it shouldn't have since fusel alcohols don't go away after they are created I believe. Don't count it out yet, give it a few more weeks at least.

Only fix I know of is boiling it. That will drive off the fusels and turn any flavor hops to bittering hops. Add more LME/DME, rehop for flavor and referment.

Or just give it out to muches, one bottle at a time. Act like it is REALLY good. Maybe they will stop asking.

 

[joelsbrew]

ok thank you

 

[joelsbrew]

LOL I hear that, I've had hangover headaches so bad before that I would have rather had Mr. T hit me in the head repeatedly with a sledgehammer.
