Detailed beer FRAT warning!

So, I just had a great few pints at my buddy's of a beer that we made at a brew-your-own beer place. It was an Aussie lager.

I had at least a good six pints before I went home (I didn't/wouldn't drive, no worries).
As it is the beginning of my holidays and that it is a fact that I have not finished Fallout 4, I decided to continue to imbibe.

I frequently choose European lagers to drink, and this night I chose Harp and Kaiser to continue the festivities.
I had my first beer at home (which I enjoyed), and, within minutes, I had a nasty shit.

A few minutes later, I had a piss that reeked of sulphur.
I've already had 4 pisses at home, while only two at my buddy's place, and I was there for 3.5 hours.

I think the culprit is sulphite. It's a preservative that is frequently used in beer that doesn't get "counted" as a preservative by most governments. It's also something that isn't used at brew-your-own places.

Has anyone else had this experience?

To answer your question about the smell of the urine, no. However, I brewed my own beer for several years and can now taste the preservatives in store bought beer. Not every brand but many of them. Now I never brewed lager, since I couldn't keep my Temps low enough for it to ferment (40ish f is extremely cold for southern california, and we only get that in a month or two during the winter, then it's up to 65 in the day) so I had to stick to ales. Also, I didn't mix store bought with my own brew in the same day.

Is it possible that something you ate made your urine smell "off?"

Nope, my diet is pretty plain. Protein bar or shake in the morning and a half sub or hot sandwich for lunch (yeah, I know it's shit! go fuckyaself!)

I did what I normally do in terms of eating. The drastic reaction is what has gotten me spooked!

Home brew = fine.

Store beer (even good ones) = super gassy and super shitty

The change was so drastic and immediate that it really shocked me.

Pint after pint of our brew was flawless. The very first store bought beer: shits and gas.

Would you send me some samples of your urine, shit, and gas so I can taste them to confirm whether it is preservative or diet related?
