So I no chilled a hefeweizen in corny kegs for my upcoming wedding. I tasted the wort before pitching and it tasted great. I then pitched an appropriate sized starter (mrmalty.com), and the beer reached terminal gravity 1.010 from 1.048 in about 4 days which seems about right.
I tasted it last night, and could definitely smell sulfur. I used 3068 and there are countless threads on that yeast throwing sulfur. I am also getting a kind of bad taste from the beer.
My question: What does sulfur taste like in beer? I can't tell if that's what I'm tasting or not?
Wort tasted great
Controlled Fermentation @ 62
Oxygenated for 3 mins with pure 02
Very healthy ferment (4 days)
Just trying to figure out this off flavor, and hoping it's sulfur but I'm not sure. I need to decide pronto if I am going to re-brew it?
