I'm not either, that's why I'm looming for ideas. I was thinking it would aerate the beer allowing the smell to dissipate.

If this doesn't improve by the end of next week I'm thinking about doing a splashy transfer into a bucket, letting it sit there for a day or two shaking occasionally, and then a splashy transfer into the keg. I know there's risks involved, but who wants a rotten egg Dunkel?

So fermentation is coming to an end, and this still smells like sulfur. Not as bad as it did originally, but still noticeable. I am going to rack to a keg next week, should I leave this in the primary for another week-10 days? Will any of the smell leave the carboy if there's no activity from...

I did a SMaSH with Munich and Magnum, Safale 04, came out great!

Thanks everyone! Will do.

Hello all, I brewed an AG Dunkelweizen (first attempt) this weekend, and pitched WL Hefe IV with no starter Sunday night. It's been at approx 63-64 bubbling away nicely, from what I read on the forum I know the yeast are probably strained at that temp and that the sulfur smell isn't...

So the cider is done. I bottled at approx 1.001. It took approx 5 days to get carbed the way I like it, and I put it in the fridge. This is my first cider so I was looking for a quick turnaround, and I got it! It tastes great, lightly carbonated, and I think a higher alcohol content than I...

Hahaha thanks for the heads up everyone. To be honest i didn't even mean to type 1.01.

Thanks for the quick replies. I basically just looked online and mocked someone's recipe. It's tasting pretty good based on my sample today. I'm at 1.024 right now, I'll bottle at 1.01 and let you guys know what happens!

So, I'm very new to brewing in general (2 pale ales from extract), and this is my first cider. 4 Gal apple cider from a local orchard, 1 gal of water with 2lbs of white and 2 lbs of brown sugar simmered in, poured that in with the cider and tossed in some campaign yeast from a local brew supply...
