So why is my homebrew giving me the splats?

Oh, and looks like you really didn't need pubmed, even Wiki has the weanling pigs.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligosaccharide

The same article also says that oligoblah is a simple sugar though. Wouldn't this mean that it would highly likely be eaten by the yeast and not be left behind like the more complex sugars? Not that I fully trust wiki...

Actually an oligosaccharide is a complex sugar/carbohydrate made up of 3-10 simple sugar molecules. Oligo is latin or greek for many. The wiki article is confusing.

Here's oligosaccharide molecule

and now a simple sugar (glucose):

Your GI system needs to break the oligosaccharide down to its simple sugar components in order to digest and absorb it. More work = more "distrubance."


Edit, I thought I posted some images of molecules. Guess I don't have this internet thing worked out yet! Anyway, oligo is a large molecule and simple is small.

...3-10 simple sugar molecules.

Yeah, that makes more sense, I knew AZ-IPA couldn't be that far off.

...Or could he?

So heres the question..... if I filter the beer are we still going to have the same problem? I can get over the issues that homebrew "causes"... but id really hate to serve it at a party and have everyone sh1ting all over themselves with only 1 bathroom in the house. That might be bad, and turn people off to home brew.... and I would like to avoid that at all costs.

So... survey says?

How much are you drinking? I know if I drink a LOT I can get the runs from any beer, not just home brew.
