Pee smells funny

Some studies have shown that all people who eat asparagus produce smelly pee, but only approximately 22% of the population can pinpoint the asparagus stink, where the other 78% cannot distinguish it from normal pee smell.

So this begs the question: does the pee smell if 78% of the population can't smell it?

I can smell it. God awful horrid **** weed. Tastes OK going in, but not 30 minutes later...
 
I've never noticed my pee smelling different. However I picked up a 6 pack of IIPA from brecknridge yesterday and polished it off last night. Great beer! Then this morning when I took my morning dump it smelled exactly like a good IPA
 
Asparagus and beets with dinner.


Aspara-piss odor drives me off the toilet and I see the bloody beet butt as I wipe my arse. I'm still scarfin them both whenever I can.
 
In honor of this thread, I have been drinking nothing but IPAs for the last 4 hours straight, and refraining from urinating, in the hopes that when I let it go, after the next ipa of course, a warm and very floral wafting of warm, grapefruity hops will rise up out of the toilet bowl and envelope me, and lift me off to heaven.

<<<<Bucking for inclusion in the mem quotes thread with this post. :D

One large Homebrew store had a typo in their catalog. In the description for one of their Belgian beers, one of the ingregredients was Sweet Orange Pee.

Hah! That is hilarious.

Can't said I have ever had Orange pee though, just pee that smells funny. Had some asparagus this weekend too and I am definitely one of the people that can smell it. It was awful.
 
Are you sure it isn't your sh!t that smells of yeast? That is what should be smelling, but I suppose it could smell in your urine as well. It happens, no biggie. Sometimes my morning shat smells like freshly baked bread. Quite..... yeah.
 
So now it's coming out of the basement and not the attic? Well then....

My do-in's:
Chili (a given)
Excess amounts of sushi (those peel paint)
The tuna casserole from Jimbo's All Natural Foods (just f***in' run)

Can't say beer/yeasties have ever given me the toots...
 
*revive*

Yes, this happens to me all the time when I get impatient with my brews and sample a half gallon after 24 - 36 hours or so of crash cooling.

It's like a pepperminty asparagusy fishy smell of wretched doom. Sometimes I can taste it in my mouth the day afterwards. Fusels probably. That can't be good for your health...
