Well I've started chugging some stout which was bottled 3 days ago. Is it clear? How should I know, it's stout. Me ol' man used to neck ale directly from the FV tap, but apart from messing with his meds and sending him temporarily insane, I don't think it affected his digestive tract. Who knows... crapping himself and throwing up without warning were normal behaviour. If I've got the shyts tomorrow I'll let y'all know.
