Amatuer
Ok maybe not exactly like a fart, but in the same neighborhood, maybe a little methaney. First time it has ever smelled like this, taste is a strong hot alcohol and not much else.
Started out with 7.5Lbs of honey for 3 gallons and had a bag of strawberries, blue berries, raspberries in for the first 4 days.
OG 1.117 yeast 71b-1122.
used campden tablets and pectin enzyme with the 12/24 rule before pitching yeast.
Day 11 sg was 1.040 and sample still had good fruit/honey finish
Yesterday was day 16 SG of 1.002 so I hand stir degassed and moved the bucket to my basement (50F) where I do my racking to let it settle a little first.
Tonight I went and popped the lid to double check the SG and got hit with smell, but also a lot of the suspended particles had dropped out too. I'm not sure if one has something to do with the other.
Dump it or rack to carboy and wait it out?
I have been really adamant about my sanitation too, the other wine kit and cider I have been doing at the same time have had no such similar problems
Any advice appreciated
