Monday night I brewed a Bock. Partial mash kit. Everything went very smooth. The ingredients were from a very reputable supplier (AHS). Wednesday morning it started bubbling, but that was the last of the good news. Along with the tell-tale signs of primary fermentation, was an odor that I can only describe as what Andy must have been smelling while crawling through the sewage tunnel in The Shawshank Redemption. It was downright putrid. I had to run to work, and when I came home, I could have sworn the dog had gone#2 somewhere in the house, but when I tracked the scent down, yep, it was the fermenter. The smell has died down finally in terms of potency, but if you get right next to the fermenter, it still smells pretty foul.
Anyways, I can't imagine this situation is going to have a happy ending. I can't imagine even bottling this stuff, let alone drinking it. So is there anyone out there that can tell me this will have a happy ending? I'm not holding out much hope.
