I was going to transfer my pale ale to secondary this morning. When I opened the bucket, I got a strong rotten apple smell. Is this normal at all?
I tasted it, and it didn't taste overly bad, but I couldn't tell if it was good or not. It was at 10 am, so I'm not really used to tasting beer at that hour.
Here's my recipe:
2 lbs Light DME
3.3 hopped light LME
.375 crystal two row
1 oz cascade
11.5 g safele us-05 dry ale yeast
5 tsp yeast nutrient
OG 1.043
FG: 1.011
Fermented @ 66-68 F
Here's a few pics. I'm not sure about the bubbles in the surface on Day 8. Could be normal I don't know. This is only my second batch and I didn't look this early last time.
