I'll start from the beginning.
I have a conical tank and a brite tank.
Both have been sanitized to perfection.
Transferred unpasteurized apple juice to the conical tank, added around 80g of K-meta to my 800 liter juice, a few hours later added the required DAP.
Next day, pitched Safale S-04 yeast, bubbling started immediately.
Average temp 14-15 degrees Celsius connected to a Glycol tank system to monitor temp.
gravity started at 1.051, after 12 days is at 0.997 and as soon as bubbling stopped, dropped the temp to 1 degree Celsius, in order to crash cool and for the yeast to flocculate, so that I may remove the sediment for the next few days from the bottom of the conical.
It tasted dry, the exact way I want it and the taste is pretty good.
Getting ready to move it (cannot rack so using a pump) to brite tank and then force carbonate.
My only issue is that it SMELLS BAD, the smell of sulfur that won't go away and I have no idea how to get the smell out.
Everything has gone well except for that smell.
I don't want to transfer to the other tank before I figure out how to remove the smell because the step after that would be to bottle and then the smell would be trapped inside the bottle.
Would the wise and experience brewers give me some pointers on how to get that smell out of my conical tank?
I promise to send a batch of cider to the person who helps me solve this issue![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
