Did my first cider a couple weeks ago. I racked to keg when fermentation was complete. Approx. 5 days ago. Used unpasteurized cider and white wine yeast. When cleaning the carboy the smell of the yeast sludge was awful. Somewhat sourish/eggish? Anyway I tried the cider today and it tastes pretty darn good although a bit bland but the smell is very sour like the yeast was. I can drink it as long as I down breath in when my nose is in the glass...LOL
Any thoughts on this? As I said it tastes nothing like its smell. It is pretty good. I know it's young so will any of that odor dissipate? Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
