Guest guest Posted January 17, 1990 Report Share Posted January 17, 1990 I just made a batch of soap using beer and it looks great. I plan to give it to the guys for Christmas. I call it sudswiser and have a really cool label for it. I got the picture from printmaster gold. I used a basic recipe and used beer for the liquid. The beer really foamed up when I added the lye so be sure to have a big container for the beer and lye and put it in the sink. My receipe is down in my mothers basement and we had a flood down there last night. My soap supplies were up high and they didn't get wet. I,ll be glad to post the receipe if you would like it. Sharen Beer Has anyone ever used beer as the liquid in their soap recipe. I know that beer is good for hair. Here again, I would be interested in any chat regarding this subject.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 Thanks Aubin, we'll have to look for these supply stores. I think Jeff would like the experience of making his own beer. Irene, the recipe for small beer is on page 592 and makes 3 quarts. It may be interesting to start out with. <<Yes, it does take some special equipment in order to make the " modern " kind of beer (carbonated, and with reasonably predictable results). Homebrew supply stores have everything you need, including recipes. It's a more sensitive process than fermenting veggies, it needs to be kept anaerobic and within a certain temperature range (depending on the yeast used) in order to not get off flavors. It's not difficult, but more involved than most of the kitchen fermenting we talk about on this list. Aubin>> <<Does anyone know about the " non-modern " kind of beer. I was once told that originally beer was a fermented grain berverage not ulike kvass that was low in alcohol and very nutritious since the grain was predigested. That is where the folklore came from that beer is good for pregnant women. I would be interested in that kind of beer. It sounds like very much a NT food.

The first thing you want to do is go to Amazon, or the bookstore of your choice, and order a copy of " The New Complete Joy Of Home Brewing " by Charlie Papazian. This is THE book to have for a beginning homebrewer. Also, take a look at the newsgroup rec.crafts.brewing. There are some great people on that group with centuries of experience, and all of them were beginning brewers at some point. At some point you will need to find a " Local Home Brew Shop " . Look in your phone directory yellow pages under " Beermaking " , or something like that, and it should bear some fruit for you. AP -- Aviation is more than a hobby. It is more than a job.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 We CRON so we can live longer and drink more beer :-) I've been brewing beer for over 15 years and just like home baked breads and such, home brewed beer is very tasty. I also enjoy hobbies that you can get a buzz from. Like organic vegetables, home brew is free of preservatives and other commercial additives. For supplies and things like starter kits check out http://www.williamsbrewing.com/index.html While moderation should always be practiced, if you closely monitor your macronutrients, alcohol which has calories doesn't easily fit into one of the three major categories.. I would tend to lump it in with the carbohydrates but at 7 Kcal/gram it's an oddball. enjoy JR -----Original Message-----From: ngarrison_2000 [mailto:ng@...]Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 5:49 PM Subject: [ ] BeerCan you drink beer while on the CRON diet?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 I was conscious of relatively mild reactions, most, but not all of the time, after drinking beer. Gin sometimes too. I no longer have any such reactions after beer or any liquor, and I do have 2 or 3 drinks per day. I choose to believe that the difference is that of before and after desensitization. And, having said that, I'm the first to agree that despite our all being Samterites, we're all different in terms of degree, and in terms of other existing " conditions " , so I'm sure that Lori's observations are correct also. regards, Ken West > From: " Lori Baur " <truelori@...> > Reply-samters > Date: Sun, 20 Apr 2003 13:57:45 -0400 > <samters > > Subject: beer > > I can understand it's hard to give up something you really love -- hell, I > haven't given up everything I should.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 I just read in one of the Feingold's handbooks that acceptable alcoholic drinks for are ' Bostson Ale: stock ale and Coors Arctic Ice Beer in cans or bottles only; not on tap. None of these beers have any salicylates, nitrates, sulfiting agents or calcium propionates in them. Just something to keep in mind. The reason they suggest no beer from a keg is cause the kegs have a wax lining that is often treated with BHT. -- beer> > I can understand it's hard to give up something you really love -- hell, I> haven't given up everything I should.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Hi A quick question on asthma meds. Which meds have helped the asthma? This seems to be my worst symptom. My polyp surgery seems to have been successful. I have had 4 uneventful months. No major sinus problems and we are at the peak tree/grass pollen season. I use Nasacort AQ, claritin and singulair. I have full taste and smell. (I already know the polyps will come back eventually, so please don't rain on my parade). My big problem is asthma. I wheeze like an out of tune pipe organ at night. As soon as my head hits the pillow it starts. I have tried breathing treatments of albuterol and ipratropium bromide 5 minutes before laying down no luck I still wheeze. Most asthma treatments work for me for about a month then are ineffective. I seem to have an abnormal amount of fluid in my lungs all the time. Mainly only a problem at night. During the day I get tight chested once and a while but albuterol helps. Any suggestions on meds or unconventional treatments would be greatly appreciated. I also had a bad reaction (asthmatic) to something I ate or drank the other night. Japanese Steakhouse ate steak and shrimp veggies,Kirin beer. Before I left to go to the steakhouse I sampled some Easter candy Snickers and peppermint patties. Anybody react to these things. I know I was stupid to go overboard but I was celebrating after returning home from 3 months away with my job. Thanks all Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Hi: My husband and I are new members to the group (he is the Samters sufferer) and am finding lots of very useful information. We will try these beers, as he cannot drink any beer right now. He gets completely congested and starts sneezing, etc. Does anyone know any wines that are tolerable? When he drinks Chardonnay, he gets instant heartburn. Most white wines cause the same congestion as beer. Red wines seem slightly more tolerable. Also, has anyone tried Cordyceps? It is a Chinese herb derived from mushrooms and it has helped his lungs considerably. He used to get bronchitis several times a year but since he started taking Coryceps (4 capsules a day), there has been no bronchitis at all.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 I would think the beer was probably the culprit. As for the asthma, you have asked the million dollar question; what will "fix" it. As most will tell you there is no "magic pill" for us Samters folks. In fact, what works for one may not work for another. I had the same problems the first 6-7 years of my Samters. My sinuses weren't the big problem, it was my asthma. Constant emergency room & hospital visits and nothing I did seemed to help. I am not sure what happened but now the sinuses seem to be the biggest problem, though my asthma has been acting up the last few months (more than it has in the last couple of years). Go figure. There really seems to be no rhyme or reason. This probably didn't help much but at least you know that you are not alone :-) Rob Re: beer Hi A quick question on asthma meds.Which meds have helped the asthma? This seems to be my worst symptom.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 I've been a homebrewer for 9 years and am a National level beer judge, so I have quite a bit of knowledge about beer. But I haven't found a mention of salicylates in any of the books in my library. Dr. Demain indicated that malt contained salicylates. I had seen info before that indicated that most grains do not contain salicylates. However, there could be something about the malting process that produces salicylates. I have read in several places that yeast byproducts contain salicylates. I am also guessing that the hops since they are boiled for an hour or more in the wort, probably contribute some salicylates. For years, I have noticed that sometimes I can drink several beers and not have a reaction. But sometimes, just one or two will cause a violent sneezing and coughing fit. I tried to identify particular brands or styles that we specific culprits with no success. This was when I was being told that my problem was due to allergies. After being tested twice, it's pretty clear that I am not allergic to barley, hops or yeast. That is, I don't get a histamine reaction from exposure to these. I am now assuming that when I had the episodes from drinking beer, that I was unknowingly, already loading up on salicylates from other sources and a beer or two was just enough to push me over the limit. Since I have been aware of the salicylate issue (Nov. 2002) I have had fewer episodes when drinking beer. However, I am admittedly drinking less beer and being more aware of the symptoms when I do. I rarely if ever drink stuff from the mega-breweries (Bud, , Coors, etc.) and tend to stick to West Coast microbrews, local breweries and brewpubs and, English and Belgian ales. These as a group, rarely contain any preservatives, but if the above is true do contain a fair amount of salicylates. I've never heard of a homebrewer using preservatives. I like Samual Boston Lager a lot but tend to drink a wide variety of beer. Thanks for the info.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Dear Barbara, Only Riunite Wines - Bianco, Lambrusco, to are OK according to Feingold but I could never find them. They are only OK in the stage 2 diet - this is where you have found you aren't allergic to the natural salycilates. Stage 1 is where you avoid natural salylcilates and artificial ingredients. If you can find this wine and your husband reacts to it then it may mean he's allergic to the natural salycilates. I've never had cordyceps. It sounds great since it sounds natural.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Dear Marcus, It may have been the beer and the candy if they all had artificial ingredients in them.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 I asked the doctor who diagnosed me about beer and wine. His suggestion was to stay away from anything very malty and well-aged (my husband was grilling me about what the age thing is and why vinegar is off my diet but I can't really tell him - anyone else know vinegar?) He also said most white wines would be fine, but to stay away from reds and anything aged in oak (there's that aging thing again) I occasionally get itchy hands from drinking tequilla, but I have a suspicion that might be some yellow #5 sneaking into the Cuervo factory. - I hate to ask this on the public board, but are you in Anchorage by any chance?
