Right... from all the home brewing artciles, tutorials and how-tos i have read there has been a supreme emphasis on sterylisation, yet I have also read that homebrew isn't as prone to infection as it's made out to be... anyway, me and a couple of friends fully disinfected all our equipment in a cholrine solution.
My wort has been brewing for 4 days now, and has begun to rapidly bubble and form a head, and started smelling really really bad. As a first time brewer, I have no idea wether this eggy smelly is completely normal or the cause of some basterical infection
My main concern is the small collections of brown stuff on top of the bubbles... is this a sign of infection?
Oooh and FYI im brewing a Coopers Bavarian Lager kit... could it be an effect of the type of yeast used?
Can someone pleeease put me at ease? Muchly appreciated
