DMS smell/Infection?

[mther]

HI guys,

I brewed 5 gallons of Black IPA 2 days ago using the muntons IPA kit and some dark grains which were soaked in 1.5 gallon water overnight to create the black colour. I rehydrated the yeast in 200ml water @27 celcius for almost an hour.

Day 2 today and I can smell the cheesy sulphide smell when I put my nose near the fermentor. Do you think my batch is infected? It looks like it is fermenting creating a good foam (i think). Do you think the sulphide smell will disappear after a few days?

Thanks in advance.

Fermentation can look and smell weird. Once fermentation activity subsides, you'll have a more accurate representation of your beer's aroma and taste, but even then, it could take a little more time for the beer to clean up fermentation by products. Your beer is likely not infected.

You were right, the beer came out great! Thank for your reply!
