4 pints of anything 8%ABV+ would just about send me under anyway, squirts not required.
I've always heard that, but I've never had a problem with Xylitol. I never had a problem with Olean either. I don't plan on using much of it. Bear in mind, there are 16 tablespoons in a cup so I'm essentially talking about using roughly 1 cup of it in 5 gallons (probably less). There are plenty of cakes/pies, etc that call for 3/4 - 1 cup just in the pie! In other words, you're talking about roughly 2 tablespoons of Xylitol in a slice of Apple Pie compared to approximately 1 teaspoon in a 12oz bottle of Apfelwein. That's a GIGANTIC difference.
I appreciate threads like those, and I'll bear it in mind since everyone's digestive tract is different, but there's very little information. How much Xylitol was used in the batch? What size "bottles" (I'd assume 12oz)? It reminds me of Olean, there were a ton of people that could eat a serving once or twice a day, every day and never have problems, then there were the fatties that would eat an entire bag of chips in one sitting complaining because they're on the crapper all night.
