I have sort of an odd thing going on. I recently started a batch of cider, using some motts, and a week into fermentation, it smells and has an aftertaste of bile. Specifics are
5 gal. Mots juice
Wyeast 4766
SG of 1.050
Fermenting at about 68 degrees.
I wondered if it could be normal for this yeast, but only find references to sulfur smells, and this is one strong bile smell/taste in an otherwise fine looking batch. Any recommendation?
 
Oh good lord, that makes me thankful im getting vomit smell! Using Nottingham ale yeast got me rocket fuel, but never had an off smell.
