So, I haven't had a spoiled batch yet (knock on wood). I really hope this isn't my first.
My fermentation on my Wit is almost up and it has a pretty strong fart/sulfur smell. Actually almost identical to the smell I got from brewing Edwort's Apfelwein. I know it was expected for the apfelwein, but I've never smelled this in a beer. I'm a little worried here.
I read somewhere that sometimes Hef's have this smell, but I didn't see anything about wits.
My yeast was White Labs 400.
