my homebrew made me sick

[McMalty]

Your assumption was correct, your beer was most definitely infected. So infected that it killed cells in your brain and dehydrated vital organs. To cure your infection, hydrate yourself very well, wait 24 hours, then do it again.

Your beer definitely had a yeast infection.

Startin to sound like a personal problem...?

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago with my Dunkelweisen. I kept drinking and drinking to find off flavors. I don't remember if I found any or not.

I am glad I stumbled onto this thread. I was worried my homebrew was infected also. I have have never threw up from drinking it but for some reason after 14 or so it causes short term memory loss. :cross:

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.

After that she's probably counting the days until your gone for another month.

Just to clear things up, drinkin the beer was actually the second thing i did, uh huh and the brew was one of my best so far.I think the cascade is to blame, 3oz. in 5 gal. and i love it. Drinkin one now and i feel pretty safe lol. And my wife was very proud of me for puking in the trash can instead of the floor

Be aware that there is a condition known as "holiday heart". Atrial fibrillation can be caused by drinking too much too fast. How do I know? A week ago last Sat. I got an ambulance ride to the ER when I went into a fib by doing just that. You don't wanna do the same thing.

 

[stumpwater]

Atrial fibrillation, now thats 2 words i know nothing about but i bet if i told one of my buddy's i had that he would say something like " DID YOU MAKE IT TO THE TOILET SON? "

It means that your heart speeds up to 130-140 BPM and loses its rhythm completely. It doesn't empty out the chambers and your risk of instant stroke skyrockets. Believe me, you don't wanna experience it first hand.

Denny, got to take care of yourself if you have that. I have a constant problem with A-fib for past 18 months. I had to give up coffee and doc presses me to minimize alcohol intake. I just started brewing more session beers to make it easier on my ticker.
