Hi All,
I have jsut brewed my very first batch. A Morgan's Pilsener Kit.
Everything was sterilised, the temperature was right, I left it in the fermenter for 14 days then bottled it. The hydrometer reading was 1.005, so I figured I was OK, and went ahead and bottled as per the instructions.
After waiting 10 days in the bottle I decided to crack one open and have a little taste, just to see how it was all travelling. When i opened the lid a terrible stink came out. It smelt quite like manky, day-old farts.
Apart from that the beer tasted pretty good. I was actually a little impressed with myself, however I just can't bring myself to drink 23 litres with that funk blasting out my nose.
Any ideas, suggestions?
