Brewed a NB extract dubbel kit, and it's now a few days into vigorous fermentation with the wyeast belgian abbey. It smells shockingly like bright pink bubble gum.
I pitched cool, it's been sitting comfortably within the working temp of the yeast (low to mid-70's) and it stinks like gum.
I have a bad feeling this is going to take a long time to clear up.
Likewise, I had a starter for the Am. Wheat I'm doing, from a wyeast pack, and it has a weirdly pits-of-hell sulfur smell coming out of the lock. I'm a little concerned I've now got ten gallons of worthless waste brewing and it feels a bit frustrating.
