I know this has been asked multiple times but didn't see this specific issue yet.
Beginning October pressed apples from local orchard. Added campden at package directions (1 tablet/gallon). Waited 36 hrs, added 1/4 tsp nutrients, aerated, and pitched yeast. Had two 5gal fermentors and decided to use different yeast ( Nottingham and Mangrove Jack Liberty Ale). Second day fermenting fine, added 1/4 tsp nutrients, stirred gently. Third day smell slightly of sulpur, added 1/4 tsp nutrients, stirred gently.
Middle of ofovember, final gravity was 0.994. I was out of fermentors with Xmas brews, so transferred to purged kegs. Cider smells and tastes of cider. I've bubbled CO2 through the liquid, which helped some. I've also polished and sanitized extra copper grounding wire and let it sit for 15 min intervals. And bubbled CO2 again. It no longer knocks me off my butt, but is still unpleasant.
Anything with my process seem off? What else if anything can be done to dissipate the sulphur?
