my homebrew made me sick

[stumpwater]

After being away from home for a month at work i finally made it home last wensday.I botteled a pale ale 2 days before i went to work so that gave it 33 days to bottel condition. My wife put a 6pk in the frige 2 days before i got home,and i opened one as soon as i walked in the house.oh man that was good so i put another six in the fridge.I finished off the first 6 and started on the next one and put another 6 in the fridge.After 14 beers and a cheesburger i puked in the trashcan. The burger was good so i'm pretty sure my brew must be infected Any suggestions?lol.

I think your beer is infected with ethanol, pour out all imo.

I have had the same thing happen and it seems to also be at right around that quantity consumed. I hope we can get to the bottom of this!

Ethanol!? That kills thousands each year!

God save us.....god save us all...

 

[rekoob]

I haven't had this problem but I have come close a number of times, damn tap might be infected....

 

[unionrdr]

I think it may have something to do with repeatability...

 

[jlorenz78]

Yeah I'm sure its infected. Please send the rest to me for testing

 

[kapbrew13]

14 beers? Hmmm. Quantity might be the problem and not the quality.

I had a food related problem this weekend. I had a hamburger too, with about 4 pints of my wheat ale. I swear to God that that hamburger gave me a headache the next morning when I woke up!

The only thing better than your homebrew making you sick is a bunch of other people's homebrew making you sick! Thanks, Homebrewer Appreciation Party!

14 beers, well, after 14 beers I think that would make anyone sing to the round porcelain choir, especially after a douse of dead cow between two pieces of bread and veggies.

My guess is it was not your beer. If your beer was infected, you would have probably puked after the first or second one.

I've had this happen to me before but without the hamburger part, I cant remember what I ate for some reason. But I was watching football for the better part of the day and was drinking homebrewed american stout mostly. Towards the end of the night and probably a dozen or so beers later I was putting whiskey in my beer. Later that night I got extremely disoriented and ended up vomiting on SWMBO's mom's car. I bet someone didnt whip themselves properly after going to the bathroom and got into the snacks, yeah defiantly tainted food.

I'm no expert, but I know someone who is. Let me give you my address so you can send a few samples over and I'll pass them along...

 

[jdlev]

Send all beer to me for proper analysis...

Pretty kinky household you have

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Maybe the beer was not infected. Maybe you are allergic to the 14th beer. In future go straight from No. 13 to No. 15 and carry on from there?

you should see what goes on when we have jello shots

14 beers is definitely too much. You need a kegerator and a Liter mug. That way you could only have 4 or 5 each night. Moderation is key!

It sounds like he got to the bottom of it...about 14 times. :cross:

 

[Sardoman]

I don't know about the rest of you, but if I were a married man home after a month away for work I know I'd be lusting after more than just my homebrew...

No no! Just heat it up so the nasty ethanol boils off.

 

[Browarmistrz]

its another case of wild ethanolomyces :rockin:

Yes, but quantity has a quality of it's own!

 

[genes]

Is this guy serious with this question?

 

[Bruin]

genes, are you serious with yours? lol.

I can see some lobbyist in Alabama using this thread as "proof that home brew makes you sick!!!!"

"Even the homebrewers themselves aknowledge its poison"

"What's wrong wit da beer we got? It drink purty good, don't it?"
