so i brewed a batch of witbier beer a week or so ago. it's been in the primary, and i opened it tonight because something smelled off. when i opened the lid the beer smelled like dog farts (well, very sulpher-y). it has been in the fermenter longer than i wanted it to be, because i was waiting for my kaffer lime leaves to come so i could put them in the secondary. it has been between 65 - 75 degrees in my apartment since i brewed the beer. any thoughts on why it smells like this? my plan was to add some more lime zest and the lime leaves to the secondary and then bottle after a few days. should i continue with the beer to see how it turns out or just scratch it because it has gone bad?
