Hi! I got a second hand brew kit on trademe (our ebay). It came with some bit of kits, so for the first brew, I just jumped right in and used them all together Black Rcok Pilsner Blonde /w Coppertun German larger #60 and Fermentis saflager S-23 dry larger yeast. While fermenting it had a sulphur / egg smell to it, and still had it when I bottled it. I thought it probably had been infected or I had messed up somehow, but from reading now it seems this smell can be normal for a larger yeast. I have also read that it could have cleaned it self up if I had put it into a secondary (only have one carboy atm), but seeing it was bottled this way, my question is will it 'clean itself up' and loose this sulphur smell if I just leave it in the bottles long enough?
Also just bottled my second brew, a coopers real ale. I drank the 100ml I used for the hydrometer reading, and this one smells and tastes good already
Also damn this forum, now I have urges to spend money I don't have on all sorts of new brew gear
