damn....my batch in primary has started stinking after 2 days bubbling...a strong smell of sulfides fills the kitchen when i walk in....and im paraniod its infected....id added 1kg of glucose and 1 kg of beer enhancer and some muntons premium dried yeast...it didnt need any extra sugar but i wanted to bump up the abv
it didnt seem to be bubbling after a day so i lifted the lid and a krausen was there
but looked a bit weird some of the krausen was pure white like the glucose and the rest was dirty yellow
the lid of the fementing bucket wasnt pre drilled so i had to do it by hand and did a bad job so i knew air was escaping from round the bung
so yesterday i smeared some vaseline round the bung and the little split in the lid where i knew the co2 was escaping to get it bubblin in the airlock
.....and i woke this morning to the smell of sulfide...
my last 2 batches smelled clean as a whistle to this one!! what do u reckon...should i just take a chill pill for a bit or should i be worried!
