Pale malt, white wheat, flaked wheat, table sugar, US-05. Fermentation temp averaged around 69 F. I may be just over sensitive, I will report back after it's carbonated.

I have 2.75 gallons going into the fermenter for a final volume of 2.5 gallons in the keg. I have brewed two batches on this new little system I have and both times my wort has just tasted kinda "off". Both batches have been around 1.050-1.060 gravity and I have pitched 5 gallon yeast packs in...

Yes! I am doing 2.5 gallon batches and I pitched the whole packet of yeast (for 5 gallons) at 74 F. Next time I'll try and look at the yeast pitch calculators although I don't have any experience with them.

Thank you all for your inputs. To answer some questions, the beer was a kviek IPA and Ive had some friends use this yeast and the fermentation smells did not come out nearly as bad as this. I tried a simpler yeast (US05) that I am familiar with and made a simple beer to test my fermenter...

I don't know if I had a contamination or not, I'm still trying to figure that out. If I did, would my bucket fermenter still be able to be used? It has only been used once and the first time I used it my beer reeked of sulphur and tasted terrible after fermentation. There are no scratches on the...

Do you recommend using starters even with a yeast pack meant for 5 gallons for 2.5 gallon batches?

Sorry let me correct myself. Not "rotten eggs", just eggs - like sulfur. I'm about to start putting a space heater on it and give it a good stir. Hopefully that will make something happen. I appreciate the input. Maybe get some yeast nutrient from my LHBS.

I've brewed a 2.5 gallon 1.061 OG NEIPA wort and pitched the Omega yeast packet straight in to the fermenter with no yeast starter. 2 days later there is little to no activity and I opened my fermenter and there is no krausen, but there are CO2 bubbles. It also reeks of rotten eggs. It is...

Average fermentation temp around 69-70. Maybe need to ferment lower eh? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!

I have used this yeast in a couple of IPAs now and I can't tell if I like it or not. I used it in two dry hopped IPAs and it really overtakes the taste IMO. I know this yeast isn't traditionally used in IPAs but I thought it might work. It has a sweet, slightly spicy, fruity character but it...
