Well here goes...This is my second attempt and I think I am doing something wrong.
Recipe:
Honey Brown Ale
1/2 lbs Dark Crystal
1/2 Chocolate Malt
4-6lbs Amber malt and Northen Brewer Hops (premixed)
Ahtanum Hops for Flavoring
Cascade Hoops for aroma
Granulated Brewing Honey
Doric Ale Yeast (1 package)
I brought 2 gallons of water to 170 then removed the grains, I then boiled everything for the required time.
Mistake 1: LHBS suggested that I syphon my wort into my fermenter. I picked up some hot break in the process and I think some hop pellets got through.
I pitched the yeast after placing it in 70 water and allowing it to sit covered for 10 minutes. Everything went off like clockwork and then...Yesterday (day 6) I came to a rotten egg smell. I checked again today and the airlock was not bubbling. The OG was 1.46 and is now 1.21...so I transfered to secondary.
I am a sanitation freak...I have mixed the proper proportions of Iodophor and everything rests in it until I use it.
My Equipment is all brand new, SO I am ok or am I drinking nasty beer in a few months?
(sorry about the massive amount of information, but I know you guys want to know the whole story).
