so last year i made 40 litres of cider, 2 20 liter batches 1 was natural fermentation and the other was wine yeast, both smelt good. this year i only made 20 litres and its bottled, but this year i used pectin in the must and campden tabs, then for fermentation i used notty ale yeast, straight away in fermentation it was kicking out a smell and the missus werent happy, smelt bad (not toxic) but a bit ****ty, anyway its cleared bottled tastes good, no problem just the smell. what is the cause of it and has anyone had similar problem.
