Warm Homebrew Buzz

[gcdowd]

Does anyone else get a really warm buzz when drinking homebrew? It seems very different than a normal buzz, like very warm. Very chill...

Maybe you're just noticing the warm fuzzy feeling resultant of drinking your own beer? Ethanol is ethanol is ethanol, nothing different from what we brew (well, in most instances) than what commercial breweries are producing.

Haha mind over matter perhaps.

My head tells me it can't be, but yea, seems like that for me too.

it might be the vitamin b complex rush you get from the yeast from every homebrew you drink. commercial brews filter out that out

It's my opinion that the fermentables used give the ethanol different buzz qualities. Leave out all the corn & such,& you get a mellower buzz,imho.

I find it different too, so it's not just me then! Also, less/no hangover the morning after.

+1 for the yeast. It's a miraculous little creature.

Ding ding ding ding! Bingo! Yahtzee! Wadda we have for 'im Johnny? I def think it feels better the morning after. But at the time,it's def more pleasant.

Maybe it is because of the hops. I know my home brew has more hops than BMC. I suspect that is true for most of us.

Well, hops have estrogen, so maybe warm & buzzy is really warm & fuzzy.
