I brewed a hefe using a plastic bucket and wyeast 3068 and a steady temp of 68 degrees. Everything was pretty much uneventful except when fermemtation started. On day two the foam started entering the airlock so I replaced it with a small blow tube since that is all the hole in the lid would allow. It too would become plugged and I'd have to remove it, rinse it out and replace after spraying it down with star-san. Anyway, come bottling day I removed the lid and it smelled like beer with an aroma of rotting vegetables. I bottled anyway reading that sometimes the odors disappears. I conditioned for 2 weeks before trying but when I did, it tasted just like it smelled, like rotten veggies. It's getting dumped as soon as I need the bottles. Any ideas what may have happened?
Thanks
