I brewed the byo hefeweizen recently. It was my first beer on my new clawhammer ebiab. This is also the first time I've done a step mash on a hefe. I fermented at 62 using a wyeast 3056 starter. My og was 1044 and was supposed to be 1049. It fermented for 10 days and I let the temp free rise into the low 70s the last couple of days. When I kegged it the sample tasted good. The beer is in the kegerator and on gas carbonating and now it smells like sulpher and it doesnt taste like a hefe. I have been off gassing it a couple times a day and it might be slightly better. It doesn't taste like its infected or anything, it just doesn't taste like a hefe. It's hard to describe.
Any thoughts on how to proceed? I'm not sure if I should pull it and let it warm to room temperature and see if the sulpher goes away. I have done this recipe before on my old system without issue.
In case crush matters. I set my mill with a credit card and double crushed. There was also a strange grey slime on the burner after the boil.
