Brewed a two hearted extract clone. This is my sixth batch and this was the first time i let the beer sit for two weeks before racking to secondary. Usually i rack or keg a day after the airlock slows way down. It sat in primary for two weeks and then I racked it to secondary for further maturation. I nailed the suggested ABV on the recipe and a sample taste was delicious. It has now been 10 days in secondary and I just threw some hops in today for a 3 day dry hop and when I smelled the beer in the Carboy it did not smell all that great. Kind of like a stale fart to be honest. I don't think it's oxidation because I even purged the secondary vessel with co2 before racking. Is the beer ruined? Is that smell a bad sign? Or am I overreacting.... Thanks for the help
