First time brewer...Imperial Pale Ale and dry hopped with Simcoe after a week in the primary...I left the beer for two weeks and bottled. I drank a 12 oz and a bomber that was not chilled very long last weekend...8 days after bottling. They have been sitting in 68 degree average thru brewing and bottling. Beer tasted great, well carbonated, but was a little cloudy. The bomber was the last beer bottled and it had alot of sediment.
24 hours later my body violently purged.
Questions...
1) Was I too anxious and drank too many suspended active yeast cells which obviously caused a severe reaction?
2) Will futher time in the bottle (conditioning) and possible refrigeration clear the yeast, make it dormant, and I should be able to enjoy the beer?
3) I do know to pour the beer and leave the sediment, but how do I avoid getting sick again? I believe I have a high tolerance, I only drink IPA and Imperial IPA's...recently alot of my store purchases have had sediment in the beers, SmuttyNose for instance.
4) This site is great and I have read alot about primamary only brewing (no secondary), so on "big beers" (Imperials or Doubles) can I leave in the primary on the yeast cake for more than two weeks and what time frame would you recommend.
