I'm concerned about my latest brew. I don't have the gravity readings handy at the moment but the ABV was a little higher than intended (4.9 instead of 4.5, my point being, fermentation was finished) Oddly enough, this batch also smells off. There were no visible signs of infection and it's not a sulfur smell. It's kind of stinky like a fart but mild. I've heard the term "Baby Turtle Farts" from a homebrewing youtube video (can't remember which one) and that description actually came to mind when I smelled it. It's not "offensive" but it's not nice either.
Unfortunately, the "smell" is present in the finish but it hasn't carbonated yet. (I just racked it last night) Any ideas what's happening here?
TIA
