Nottingham for Table Wine??

[hbhudy]

I thought I would make a simple table wine (1gal) with White Grape juice and a little Raspberry juice.. For fun I decided to use Nottingham yeast to see how this would turn out,,, AND OMG.. This thing is throwing off some serious skunk smell... I am assuming the yeast does not like the environment and are super stressed giving the sulfur gas...

Has anyone else tried this yeast for wine or hard cider??

After doing some more research it looks like an issue with needing yeast nutrient.. I added some and a few raisins to help feed the yeast..

Hopefully this kills off the rhino farts.

I have made several batches of hard apple cider and malted cider with notty. Yes you need yeast nutrient. I suggest letting that sit for as long as you can as warm as notty can go and let that yeast clean up the esters you probably have.

I have had several fermentations that threw a lot of sulfur stink...it will age out.
keep it in the fermentor for a few weeks before botteling, the stink will disapate.
