Kegged a batch of cider the other day and it smelled and tasted great before it went in. Now it has a strong almost chemical sulphuric smell to it. Still tastes great but it's hard to get past that odor. I added 1tsp of Potassium Sorbate and 2 Campden tablets before transferring. Is this going to mellow out with age? I'm don't usually make cider, but SWMBO wanted something different on tap.
 
Just to be safe, you could vent the pressure a couple of times, and that would probably help speed up the clearing.
