If the wine doesn't smell of eggs now, then I'd leave it alone. Maybe you got rid of the H2S since you caught it early. Wait and see, and when you transfer it according to the directions, take a little taste and a big sniff, and see how it is!

I have never had a problem with Premier Cuvee(its my favorite yeast). Being your first wine you may not be use to how wine smells and when wine first starts fermenting the smell can be strong.

The fermenting seems to have slowed tad and no more odor in the basement. I think you folks saved my wine! I think the stirring helped.

Thanks!!!

I thought an update was in order!

I raked my batch of wine yesterday into the 6 Gallon Carboy and there was absolutely no sulfur smell at all!! None!! I took a hydrometer reading and it was just under 1.0000, which I think is good.

I tasked a small sample and it wasn't bad at all!

I also bottled a batch of Irish Stout yesterday and it was incredibly tasty!! Maybe my best beer batch ever!!!

Thanks for all your help!!!
