Need Help ASAP!

[lastsecondapex]

Okay, I won't get into my reasoning at the time, but I had a brain lapse and a buddy bet me I wouldn't consume a teaspoon of hop extract (we are brewing a Heady Topper-esque clone)... I did it, but didn't consider it being 61.1% alpha acid. Can anyone do a quick calculation to determine the ph level of a teaspoon of 61.1% alpha acid with the 64oz of water I just drank??? I can't find a ph level for hop extract anywhere and don't have a test kit. Am I safe to continue on, or do I need to get to the hospital??? Just calling a doctor and saying 'I ate some hop extract' isn't going to get me anywhere.


Please don't ridicule me... I know.

What dose it say on the package? Call poison control. If your body's ph is off more than it can compensate for, you can get sick or die.

The package says 'Yakima Valley Hops CO2 Extract 61.1% alpha acid.'

No more no less.

What are you planning for as a second hop addition?

I made a tray of hard candy with 5ml of extract in it. The smallest piece was so bitter I could hardly get it down. Batch 2 I used 1ml. This time it was palatable, but not what I considered pleasant.

Not exactly the same but seems very close


I got it here and there are contact numbers may help the doctor if you decide to go

Well, after vomiting, my mouth and lips were on fire for about an hour and I had a wicked stomach ache. Other than that, completely fine!

Needless to say, I did not taste my IPA wort after that.

You live another day to tell the tale!

 

[Tinhorn]

Sorry have to ask what did you win from the bet?

 

[Jon73]

Glad to see you're still alive. I might have gone with milk instead of water.

Did you force yourself to puke or did it happen... naturally?

 

[lastsecondapex]

I won $22 (the cost of the entire can of extract) and the vomiting was induced. I have an iron stomach as far as strange foods go, so it would take a lot for my gag reflex to cause me to vomit.
