anyone get a ton of diacetyl when using Bell's yeast? i have used it three times and each batch, even when fermented in the mid 60s, tastes like butterscotch. no other yeast has given me this problem. i give the yeast plenty of time to clean up after itself too.

i am drinking a glass of this right now and it is delicious. it is my second all grain batch and i am surprised how well it turned out. less than 24 hours after i pitched the yeast, my entire apartment reeked of rotten eggs. i left it alone, it mellowed out, and now it tastes great!
