Hi,
I have some Baron's Pale Ale kit fermenting in a 23L carboy thats been sitting there for about 2 weeks now. At the very beginning, the fermentation was very intense and is now stable. However, the smell coming from the carboy is very acidic, almost sanitizer-like. The hydro reads are also lower than indicated by the chart, and when I taste it after the read. I suspect an unwanted concentration of ether now...
I know that I should step back 'cause the yeast know what they're doing, but I just wanted your general opinion on that, based on your experiences.
thanks!
