hi all,
this is my first post but i've been lurking for a bit.
i have a batch in my primary that is giving off a real strong skunk smell. i pitched the yeast on friday, two days ago, the lag was about 6 hours. i used some of the slurry from my last batch (lager) as the starter.
the recipe was
12lbs of lme
4 lbs crystal malt
4 oz hallertau hops (hole)
6.5 gallons at completion
4 gallon boil, with a 2.5 gallons of boiled and neer frozen spring water to cool wert down to pitching temp. and a cold sink bath to cool down the 4 gallons of wert in the pot. i had it to 80 deg. in 30 min or so. its fermenting at 58 degrees now.
i used all my normal sanatary methods. never had a beer give off this kind of stink before.
any ideas?
thanks
