So... No hangover?

[bendog15]

Been homebrewing now for 6 months. Have done at least 10 batches of malt extract kits so far. It's fun, it's easy, the beer turns out great.

Just curious- I haven't had a hangover yet! This is awesome! I'll usually have 2-6 per night, maybe more (heh heh). Even my high gravity stuff (7.8%, nice buzz) doesn't give me that pounding headache or upset stomach that too many commercial beers or whiskey does.
I've read about how the unfiltered yeast is beneficial to preventing hangovers. Does everyone else experience the same effect?

I can't wait to have the pipeline for this. So far, my only time getting HANGOVER tier drunk was when about half of my 9-10 drinks was my homebrew brown ale, a quarter my buddy's mead he made, and a quarter being whiskey shots so we could conserve our brews. I ended up feeling iffy the next morning, but it wasn't too bad. Not a reasonable gage of homebrew beer performance though, given those "supplements".

Same here....NO HANGOVER!:rockin: I have done threads on this too. Lot's of replies stating the same thing....it's the yeast!

Commercial brews are filtered. They use Isinglass, which is made from fish bladders, in their beers. It clings to the yeast, then they cold crash so the yeast drops out. Then they run their beer through a 1 micron filter and bottle it. They use forced carbon dioxide to carbonate their beers, just as homebrew keggers do.

Anyways, when you drink THEIR beer, you are pissing out all of your vitamins and nutrients. Basically coming close to dehydration as far as nutrients go. Hense, most of the headache.

Home brew on the other hand, has they yeast still intact...mostly. So, when you drink, you actually replenish the vitamin B you just pee'd out.
Had a few too many? Before you go to bed, take a couple of vitamins and a few aspirin along with a big drink of water. The next morning you can't even tell you drank at all!:rockin:
