Hey all,
Back with a odd paranoid question. Details following the question.
My cooled wort after 36 hours, as I was pitching the yeast, had a buttery sweet smell. It also foamed like made (white thick good-head foam) when I stirred it. I have never really noticed an odor from my wort before, so was concerned. Bucket was sanitized, was poured in hot and cooled in there, kept sealed up while it was cooling to pitching temp.
I did an all grain batch for a Kolsch:
10lb German Pilsner
1/2 Munich
90min mash at 150F
OG: 10.55
Batch size: 5.0g
I had to wait 2 days days before pitching the yeast, so I tossed it into the plastic fermentation bucket (was still hot from the kettle, let it cool in there to 60F) and drove it 40 miles to my apartment. 36 hours later I added the starter. Starter done with DME did have a somewhat similar smell, but I thought that may be due to the yeast as it is supposed to be sulfry.
Is this just from the sugars sitting around doing nothing, and should turn out fine in the end?
Thanks for any info/thoughts/eye-rolls!
