Just tasted and took a gravity reading on my Belgian golden strong (OG=1.069, FG=1.01) after two weeks in primary and smelled rhino farts like crazy. This is my first time getting a sulfury smell during fermentation and thought it might be my yeast, Safbrew Abbaye (my first time using this yeast).

Has anyone who has used this yeast gotten really intense sulfur smell (no sour taste) after two weeks in primary? If so, any recommendations, or does the yeast just need some time to clean this up?

My recipe:
70% Belgian Pilsner
10% Caravienne
10% Dememera sugar
10% Maris Otter
.8 oz Northern Brewer @ 60min
.5 oz Mosaic @ 5 min
.125 oz Northern Brewer @ 5 min
.06 oz nutmeg @ 5 min
1.375 oz juniper berries @ 5 min
Safbrew Abbaye dry yeast

Never witnessed a rhino fart, so I can't tell.

On a more serious note, I'm getting moderate sulfur smell after 3 days.

You might look in the thread below and add your input. I think it would benefit everyone if the "knowledge" would be focused in the same thread...

Thanks, added a bit about the sulfur to that thread. Seems like a pretty common result
