Excess gas

[Mr Fro]

I've been enjoying the fruits of my brewing labour recently and all is well for the most part.

The only tiddly issue I'm encountering is that I become a bit of a farty pants the following morning.

What I'm keen to discover is whether this is normal for homebrew or if I've cocked something up somewhere along the way.

I believe that it may be the yeast that is the culprit. Do you take care to leave the yeast behind in the bottle when pouring / is your beer clear?

Share the love....

 

[Mr Fro]

Beer is lovely and clear. If anything I'm a bit too careful with pouring I think - I pour very gently and slowly, stopping when the cloud gets near the neck. I probably chuck an inch or so of every bottle which breaks my heart a little.

@Clint - I try to keep my outlets to myself although it's fair game if she's asleep.

Excess is a subjective term.

May sound a silly question but are you making kits

Yup. Why do you ask?

 

[Leon103]

Yup. Why do you ask?

I had the same issue when I did kits. Never had the problem with ag

Have you ever had tons of beer on cask? It doesn't matter how clear the beer looks, you will definitely be visiting Trumpton the day after.

The best thing about cracking a good fart off ...it's dead funny!
It's good to laugh...

... and right there folks, you have a man who laughs as he pulls the bed covers over his wife's head afterwards!

 

[Clint]

Ya not wrong!

The mrs and I both found this when I did my first and only kit brew but have not found the same with the AG brews.

Now if she would stop eating so many lentils and beans....

But why is it that only men find them funny? A well-timed, noisy emission of gas from between the legs in a public place is always a source of much mirth and hilarity... but not for a burd. Why is that??

 

[Clint]

Simple...they DO think it's highly amusing but can't be seen to encourage such behaviour.
I bet when they're on their own they're farting like cart horses.

Or a "Dutch oven", to give it its proper name.

 

[Clint]

Then there's always the Dutch cup cakes where the guff is delivered into a cupped hand then held over the nose of the recipient...

This is the sort of thing Christina Perri took exception to, although storing flatulence in a container is maybe a step too far. You can see the effect this has at around 1:23 in the video.

Two elements have been brought up on this Thread that hit my "Memory" button:

1. I was on a night-train from Toulouse to Nice with SWMBO alongside me when she let one off in her sleep. It was truly vile and the "green meanie" filled the carriage. The man sat in front of us turned around in his seat and glared at me, so being a chivalrous gentleman I smiled at him; and pointed at SWMBO who was still asleep!
2. As a kid, I discovered a circular rubber appliance in my parents bedroom drawer. It was just after Christmas so I was pretty adept at sticking my finger into balloons, sucking them into a small bubble and "popping" the bubble by twisting it to build up the pressure. I was well on the way to making my first bubble in this rubber device when I suddenly found myself looking at the ceiling having been clouted by a very angry Mam who demanded to know what I thought I was doing! My teeth still curl at the thought of what I was doing and as I have no younger siblings I presume that I was caught before I could do any real damage!

Happy Days!
